Probably should have given him a raise and extended his contract if all this is true.  

It says he makes them miss tackles and he would have to because if they even lay a finger on him he is going down immediately. He plays two good games a year where he trusts his blocking and hits the holes hard and makes you think he is good and figured it out. Yet the other 15 games he looks like he is trying out for dancing with the stars while still in the backfield. 

He is a solid receiver out of the backfield, will give him that much. Although he maybe the worst blocking back in Bengals history. 

He is an ok RB that never lived up to his potential imho.

I like him for insurance and not necessarily to replace Mixon. Although I wouldn't be mad at a cheap backfield of Uncle Lenny, Brown, and a 2024 draftee.

and making Defenders miss. There are so many options and to get younger and cheaper at the RB position would be a good thing.

The only thing that gives me pause in this is that Mixon is great with ball security and is a good pass catching RB.

The only way not is if we really need that cap space & he won't renegotiate it again.

Or I guess we could make a run a Henry or Barkley. But spending MORE in RB seems unlikely. Though the idea of Henry vs 2 deep safeties is appealing to me.
