EDIT: Researched it, and Mixon has 7 career rushing TDs of 10+ yards. His two highest came in the same game. 34 & 23 yard TDs against Jacksonville in 2020.

Yes they can cut him next year and only have a 2.75 million dead cap hit which saves the team 10 million but they don't need to wait until next year because they could cut him right now with a post June 1 designation and pay 2.75 million this year too saving not only 10 million against the cap next year but also another 10 million this year. That's 20 million saved in two year by cutting Mixon now. They don't need to wait to do it.

We will see...
Sure seems to be leaving the door open to me Soonerpeace. I know you have always been backing Mixon, but he does cost a
lot of cabbage and if we have better options that can pass protect it would save us to designate him a June 1st cut after the
Draft assuming we Draft somebody like say Tyjae Spears.

They can wait until training camp or preseason when cuts need to be made before releasing Mixon. This way they can see what the other RBs have to offer so they dont need to be in a rush to cut Mixon.

(03-29-2023, 07:52 PM)Isaac Curtis: The Real #85 Wrote: [ -> ]Let me break it down:
1) Mixon is penciled in as the starter. But it ain't in ink.
2) We won't cut him just to cut him, it will have to improve the team. That means we'd need a direct upgrade at RB or using the money saved to upgrade another position more than we lose starting our RB2 (T. Williams). The upgrade does not exist amongst FA RB's, and I doubt the latter does either with Trayveon occupying RB2 and other high end FA's gone.
3) Cutting him for cap savings does not make a ton of sense. Especially before June 1 (bigger dead cap hit). Most/all of the FAs worth big money are gone, and the ones that are left are old. We only have one starting level spot open (TE1). And we still have $19 mil-ish in cap space assuming we cut B. Wilson. We don't NEED the space and there is not really anyone worth using it on.
4) But that could change. If Bijan Robinson falls to us, then that is different. He is the only draft guy I see as an upgrade. But there will be more cuts and cap casualties after the draft & camps. If we see an opportunity to upgrade RB or need $10 mil to upgrade the team and feel good about RB2 replacing Mixon, we'll make a move.
5) But I think we've determined spending $12 mil on a RB is just silly beyond this year. You'd have to be getting awesome production. QB, OL, DL, WR is where we are gonna spend big. CB maybe.
6) If we draft a RB, it will be to fill Perine's spot or replace Evans. Lot of scatback types but not a lot of bell cows.
