Is Boyd's Bengal's future in jeopardy?

Boyd wouldn't fetch much of anything at this point mainly because the draft has been producing guys at such high levels. To move on at this point is foolish because we don't have any capable WR's on the roster after the top 3, so to give up one of those 3 would mean we don't even have what we need for starters let along depth. We will draft a WR, or two, in the mid rounds in preparation for a divorce with Boyd next year is my guess.

If we are talking about expendable bigger contracts, Mixon is the contract that should be gotten out of. Nothing against Joe but HB's are essentially interchangeable and having large sums of money tied up in them continues to be a fool's errand.

I think you'll get the same or better comp pick for letting Boyd walk after his contract is up as you will trading him now.  The only reason to move him is cap space and we are doing fine there.  

I think people forget that the Rams were extremely lucky that OBJ was available when Woods went down.  If not for that, they likely aren't SB champs. 

Mixon's deal only really made sense from a PR standpoint in that he was one of the few good players we had when he signed it.  It's frankly sickening that he has that contract as a skill position player, but you can't even play the guy during the 2 minute drill of the SB because he's so bad in pass pro.  In recent years, 1st and 2nd round RB's are pretty safe picks.  He needs to go next year.
