Hill has been a conundrum...I still have a sneaking suspicion that if he departs and lands in the right situation he could still deliver real solid production (1000yd seasons) to a team...maybe like how Ced Benson found a home with us for a few years after the bears
I have a feeling hill will look a little more like he did in his rookie season. I don't think it'll matter in regards to him staying in Cincinnati, as I believe the writing is on the wall for him. But I do foresee a player that will once again run with a purpose, knowing he is auditioning every single week.
The Mixon pick coupled with hills contract year is going to raise everyone's game in that RB room. It was a great pick and I believe the offense will greatly benefit in more ways than one from it.
In essence we get to use hills desire to make his next paycheck more substantial and then let him walk and watch someone overpay him. Then we "officially" replace him with Mixon and quite possibly get better in the process. Perfect storm.
