I have always been a big fan of Gio. At the time we gave him his contract extension I did not think he was grossly overpaid. But Mixon's cap hit will go from less than $4 million last year to over $8 million this season. So Gio's $4.8 cap hit is going to be a much bigger burden.
In 2019, even with Mixon healthy for all 16 games, Gio played over 40% of the snaps. Even though he was not getting a lot of touches he was on the field a lot. But last year before Mixon was injured Gio played less than 30% of the snaps in 4 of the 5 games. At that pace he would not be worth anything close to $4.8 million.
