That cap space will be much appreciated when they try to extend the likes of Burfict (best player on defense) and Eifert (best red zone threat).
Great point.
Agreed. I have no complaints with how the Bengals (usually) handle the draft or how they plug cheap draft picks into key positions, replacing more expensive players. It depends on the case, but I usually prefer it. My main complaint is what they do with the money saved.

Haven't looked up the total for Bengal RBs expected to make the roster yet. Looks like NE did a good job of shopping, to fit their RB needs. They have a stable of versatile backs, each at a fair price.
I'm not sure what you're saying. Mixon has a cap hit of 991 K this season.

Spotrac also shows that the total of Mixon's contract is 4 years/5.45 million.

The biggest cap hit comes in year 4 at 1.7 million...which is still well under the 3.15 million paid for Burkhead this year.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
