Would you trade Mixon for a McCaffrey-like deal?

The last few weeks blocking win rates and such have increased as we have moved to shotgun and therefor Mixon has "looked better". Joe Mixon is a liability in pass pro and does nothing unique to merit carries over literally any other back at this point. 

This is my chance to remind folks....DON'T GIVE HB's SECOND CONTRACTS.

Agree about the second contracts unless they are absolutely elite, Mixon is not and few are. 

Heck I repeatedly said all off season that Mixon had a lot of mileage and a stud RB needed to be added. Plus that this definitely should be his last year even if only for monetary reasons.

Pointed out that RB's could be had for much cheaper with fresher legs and the money could be spent elsewhere on upgrades in FA. 

Not one person on here ever agreed and scoffed that RB was the least of our worries and Mixon was great. 

But if this was done now and Perine got hurt the Bengals would be in big trouble imo. If having a crystal ball and knowing Perine would not get hurt the entire season, hell yes. Just don't want all our eggs in one basket presently especially when it looks like they're finally developing team chemistry..  

Should be noted that myself and seems like Bfine were the only ones on board with releasing Bates and using that $13 million on FA upgrades as well. Could have added a luxury piece for a year with that money and Bengals had already used a 1st round selection on his replacement anyway

Oh well, hindsight. But those ships have sailed and again nobody is giving 4 early draft picks for Mixon anyway, it's a pipe dream
