134 carries last year and a long rush of just 16. Only 2 broken tackles according to PFR. The worst qualified RB in yards after contact in the NFL last year, 44th out of 44.

Would not be shocked if he's not on a roster when the 2024 season starts.

With how little we rush, I would give Ekeler a chance if he's willing to come here cheapish ($3m + incentives?) on a 1 year deal to try to win.

Jacobs $10.6
Henry $10.3
Saquon $9.9
Ekeler $7.4
D' Swift $6.7
Pollard $6.5
Moss $4.6
AJ Dillon $3.5

where would Joe Mixon rank if we cut him loose ?

And who do you sign, if anyone ?

Joe Mixon

6,412 rushing yards (3rd in Bengals history)
2,139 receiving yards (3rd among RBs in Bengals history)
49 rushing TDs (2nd in Bengals history)
13 receiving TDs (2nd among RBs)
4 (!) fumbles lost in 7 years
4 1,000+ rushing yards seasons (5 with 1,000+ total yards)

I like Moss though a bit better than Dillon because of the YPC and the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. But yeah, Devin I would like.

I've been calling it that he's not going anywhere.

Maybe cut Mixon, sign Singletary for a 2yr/$6-7mill deal, and draft Allen.

If we draft someone, we will likely keep him so we can confidently consider him replaced.

there's no need to upset the apple cart when we are trying to make a run at a SB.

I guess what I'm saying is, they don't need someone that's worlds better than Joe.  He's been a fine player.  They need someone with a different skill set to serve this system.

The Bengals were looking for a RB last year in free agency, despite what our new Brian P says. Multiple beat guys said they were in touch. They just didn't want to pay much.
