After watching this.

I came to the conclusion he isn't going anywhere. That is if he stops making the news for all the wrong reasons. We are trying to make the team better. And we paid him a bunch of money for a reason. Because he was good and carrying us. With free agency picked over, the dead money, and Perine leaving town....

Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

Any teams having interest in Mixon will wait until June to see if the Bengals release him.

I wouldn't think any team would trade for Mixon, at least not before the draft.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

No. He’s not good enough right now for a team to wanna offer anything over a 6th. But NO TEAM is gonna eat 12 million for an average back. Hes definitely an above average receiver but who gives AF when he’s a RB?

He's like a top 5 paid RB and like 30th in production. Add in the fact that he sucks in pass pro and there's zero hope.

You know I thought he was the next Adraian Peterson coming out of college, so shows what I know.

Hey, he played at Oklahoma, so there is that lol
But yeah, had really high hopes for Mixon. His vision and pass blocking have really disappointed me though as these were supposed
to be his strengths entering the NFL. Never manifested or even improved in these aspects going from Okey to here.

Kinda think Zeke is more interested in the Bengals than the Bengals in Zeke:

He's pretty much lived up to his draft profile (on the negative side).
- Inconsistent as inside runner
- Can be too patient at times
- Looks for wide-open points of entry before he hits the gas
- Can be nonchalant approaching line of scrimmage
- Dances downhill allowing running lanes to become creases
- Feet lag behind when headed into congestion and will get loose with his rush track inviting tacklers a chance to get a hand on him
- Lacks creativity in initial stages of his run at times
- Vision is just average
- Fails to see backside cuts developing on stretch plays
- Hops into his downhill cuts rather than a crisp plant-and-go

Funny, I heard Elliot has us as one of his 3 teams. I have thought about this for a while, would I take Zeke over Joe?

Spot on except they left out can't block and trips over the yard lines.
Still the Mix is good, just not worth the cabbage he is paid. Of course I do not blame him for that at all, bad decision by FO. Not just because its him but just don't believe the recipe for success in the NFL these days is to not invest big money into any RB unless they're super special. Plus he evidentially stills runs with shady characters.
He's definitely a hard trade to make, better get somebody really drunk on the golf course before offering.

I'm thinking Zeke wants a ring on his way out....
