From what I've read and the tone of the Bengals (FO and ZT) it's sounding more and more like Mixon is going to be a part of this team.

I also think loyalty comes into play here. With the environment in the market these days (most players seeking guaranteed money and the Bengals not offering that to everyone) I think the Bengals like to show that they keep players around for the life of their contract as a negotiating piece when trying to land free agents and extensions. Basically saying "we offer guaranteed money by keeping guys and not cutting them." Cutting Mixon flies in the face of that.

So, don't be shocked if Mixon is here come September. Not the worst thing in the world, especially since you have a guy like Chase Brown who should significantly cut into his snap counts.

That has long since stopped being a thing in the Taylor/Blackburn era.

Have all been released while under contract with the Bengals in the Zac Taylor era. So that cat is out of the bag/toothpaste is out of the tube/milk has already been spilled/etc. Averaging over 2 guys under contract (non-minimum guys) released per year.
