-In 2019 he played over 40% of the snaps with Mixon healthy every game. Last year that dropped to about 20% in the games before Mixon got injured
-Last year Mixon's cap hit was only $3.9 million. That goes up to about $8 million this year.
As much as I like Gio it doesn't matter how well he picks up the blitz if he is only going to play a handful of snaps per game.
We are not hard against the cap, but I still think there might be a good chance we release Gio. But it may not happen until training camp when we make sure Mixon is 100% recovered.
