I don’t think Mixon gets enough credit for his hands
I just want to iterate that the only reason we are all saying cut Mixon is because he costs too much. For the most part he’s a brutal runner. But he’s a GREAT pass catching back. The issue with that being his best quality of 2022 is that Chris Evans does that just as good or even better than Mixon. So what sense does it make to keep a RB based simply off the fact that he’s also a decent receiver? If I’m paying a damn RB 12M he better be a great RB. I’d much rather Frankenstein this shit than pay Mixon 12M. All we need is 2 backs. Chris Evans can be the 3rd and long back but whatever guy we get needs to be the bell cow, pass pro type back. Im sure one will be in FA and not want too much. Hell we may even get a guy better than Mixon for less money simply because he wants to with Joe Burrow and Zac Taylor.
