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.
I tend to agree, but mixon is really really good. With even a decent OL, he may challenge the rushing yards, which is good and bad. Good in the sense he is amazing, bad in the sense he is getting worn down. I also think his swagger and energy is great for this team. I’d be more on board trading Boyd and getting a slot guy who is 80% of Boyd before
Letting go of mixon. In a perfect world, we keep them all
And do some creative cap manipulation to take advantage of burrows cap hit not coming into effect for 3 years.
