We'll find out soon

The championship teams we've seen through the years typically don't spend on a "bell cow". That's pre-2010s thinking. RBs are usually taken in the draft and dropped after their rookie deals. You often see tandems instead of one guy getting 350 touches.

You need an elite QB and those eat up roughly 20% of the cap. So you have to preserve somewhere, while also protecting that QB and giving him enough weapons to succeed.

RB is the best position to save $ on. They don't age well and get injured more than any position probably. You can also cycle through secondary receiving options.

Money should go (1) QB, (2) O-line, (3) Elite WR1 or a combo of lesser but still good weapons. RB is an afterthought.

Spot on, Shake. I like Mixon, he's a really talented back. However, he isn't very important to the teams success. Most RBs aren't. I would be completely fine if they traded him and split touches between someone like Evans/another receiving back (bring Gio back?). In my mind, a receiving back who can also pass block decently is a great asset. Most RBs are able to run the ball at a fine enough level, but many RBs can't catch or block well.
