-Gio went from playing over 40% of the snaps in 2019 (when Mixon was healthy all year) to about 20-25% before Mixon got injured in 2020.

-This year Mixon's cap hit goes up from $3.9 million to $8.1.

As much as I like Gio it just does not look like he will play enough snaps to be worth his contract.  especially with MIxon's cap hit being over double what is was last eyar.

Running backs are not getting paid in FA

Bengals need to cut Gio, formers starters like Mack only got 2 million, so a guy like that could save us 2 million in cap space to spend on someone else or bank on our existing RB room and draft a RB in round 6 or7 or add one on league minimum after draft
