I gotta ask, why are you in favor of keeping Gio?

Fwiw, I really like Gio as a player, and even more as a person, but it's clear we're not getting near the return on the investment.  If we're not going to use him, why not free up 4.1 million dollars?

FYI:  Gio is currently the 22nd highest paid running back in the league.  Here's are his position ranks by year these last 3 years:

2020
Rushing Yards - 79th
Rushing TD's - NR (0)
Receiving Yards - 23rd
Receiving TD's - NR (0)

2019
Rushing Yards - 70th
Rushing TD's - NR (0)
Receiving Yards - 34th
Receing TD's - NR (0)

2018
Rushing Yards - 70th
Rushing TD - 42nd
Receiving Yards -31st
Receiving TD's - NR (0)

I can't bring up combined stats for these (or at least I don't know how to) but I'm guessing his total yards for the postion would rank well outside the top 50 for each season.  And I think his total TD's would follow suit, ranking incredibly low for this timespan.

The man hasn't even scored a TD since Sept. 30th 2018.  He's now gone all most 2 full seasons without finding the endzone.

I just don't know how the Bengals can justify paying him 5.7 mil next season when he's good for about 400 yards of total offense a year.  Why not take the 4+ mil in savings and invest elsewhere?
