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.


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.

All I was bringing attention to is the fact that NE has $10.45M invested in cap space for their 4 experienced RBs.  I said that I hadn't checked the value that the Bengals had invested in the position. 

I guess to expound upon the statement, I would ask;  Do you think that NE has done a good job of managing their cap space and stocking their RB squad?  How do you feel that compares with what the Bengals are doing?
