If I told you that if we cut/traded Boyd AND Mixon for 5 just under elite level oline starters would you do it? I would.
I really like Boyd, but he'd free up $7.3 mill in cap if traded/released this offseason.
That extra $$ could (help) go toward getting a true upgrade on the OL (who would ideally play 100% of the offensive snaps).
A slot receiver could then be drafted or signed for relatively cheap.
Mixon will still likely stick around in 2022 because of his large dead cap, but the team could look to move on from him in 2023 or definitely in 2024.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
