Indeed. And his dead cap in 2021 is $6 mill more than his cap hit.

If the Bengals want to move on from Mixon, it will have to be in 2022 at the earliest.

This thread is such a typical overreaction. One good game against a 4 win team, and people are ready to trade away one of our best players. SMH

I agree it's an overaction, but they ran well Monday night too. 

I like Mixon, but if someone were to be foolish enough to take on that contract, I'd jump all over it.

Do you think Mixon will hit the hole fast like Perine did?  Maybe it's just me, but it seems like he's starting to dance around like Rudi used to.  
I thought Samaje played really physical and just went balls out.  I imagine he's playing extra hard for that next contract and I hope we keep him around for next year.

Not really. Gio averaged 3.3 yards and Perine 3.5. They just benefited from the short fields the defense gave them.

I want to bring back Perine, too, but he’s not as good as Mixon. Neither is Gio. People do this all the time.

True on the short fields, I should have said well enough. Finley had some decent runs.

Yeah, “VanillaVick” was moving out there lol

well Id keep mixon gio still plays well but time is edging against him... Mixon still has some years and i dont think took many hits this year from the sideline.

I think Perine is the real deal.I was a little surprised though.I didn’t realize he possessed that sudden burst of speed and quickness he has.Combine that with his power,and he has all the makings of a great RB.I also like Williams,but was hoping they would use him more to get a better analysis.Yes,if I could find any takers for his lucrative contract,I would trade Mixon in a heartbeat.

I'm a bit "meh" on both sides of the coin here. Mixon's first "big money" season was an injury-riddled bummer and Perine looking good during the final leg of a losing season could be nothing more than a typical "backups look good for short-bursts, but not as long-term starters" fool's gold.

I'd say hang on to all 3, because we're likely to need 'em.

Perine has actually looked good every time he has gotten snaps. He needs to be kept in the event Mixon is not ready and should be the third RB behind Gio and Mixon.

Mixon just needs to be a bit more decisive at times and overcome negative yards. Perine impresses me with his aggressive manner off the ball and his short yard mentality, I keep him as that type of back to compliment Mixon.

I like Mixon but this is why I wouldn't have paid him.

I'd rather Perine running behind Thuney than Mixon running behind XSF.

I agree with this.

I’d rather have Scherff than Thuney, but I get the sentiment.
