Did they officially release Mixon?

[Brownshoe]

Actually surprised they released Mixon. I haven't seen anything official though

[Rubekahn29]

Losing Mixon hurts, but I agree with it. He’s been the heart and soul since he got here. Wish him well. Any thoughts on if Moss is an upgrade?

Amazed.

I would have expected that after the draft, unless it was negotiated in the "restructuring" last season.

Bengals have had a history of doing RB's dirty.

His time was near an end though.

His name is Zack Moss.

They didn’t do him dirty. They drafted him in the 2nd round when most teams completely took him off their boards.

This was a good swap.

Love the Zach Moss move - A+

[Essex Johnson]

Mixon had a good career, understand the move but Moss does not seem like a good exchange but he is cheaper, hopefully we draft a RB also

Yeah I'm gonna have mixed feelings with moving on from Mixon. Hard to say if Moss is an upgrade. He flashed some last year but not consistently and hard to compare another team's run game. But probably the most disappointing is not all that much of a savings for us. Only a little over a million I'm guessing with Mixons dead money. But it was a move that would be coming in a years time anyway I suppose.

No I don’t think moss is an upgrade. It’s likely a wash at best. Hopefully moss can stay healthy… Derrick Henry would have been an upgrade, in 1024 at least.

Gonna go on a rant here.

Regardless of if you think it’s the right decision to release him or not.

Could they not have done it at the start of the day not at 10pm on the first day of free agency.

Teams will have already filled spots and it leaves Joe with several less possibilities.

He gave us some great memories and didn’t deserve to get the shit end of the stick like this.

It’s bullshit tbh.

[Luvnit2]

A lot of fans called for this move. We will miss his ball security, almost flawless. Mixon was not a great pass blocker, not sure of Moss.

It appears this will be around a net gain in cap space of 2 million in 2024. We gained 6 million by cutting Mixon.

I had a feeling it was coming. I got a call from my source a couple hours ago from him. We hadn’t connected. He’s been hinting. If you notice I haven’t been real confident.
