Would you trade Mixon for a McCaffrey-like deal?

I will still contend that if Mixon were cut today, pushing Perine into the starting spot, the overall production would largely be the same. Now, part of what I prefer is that Perine not be a feature back but part of a committee. I don't want a feature back - run Perine, Evans and ??? out there. Or, remove Perine and run another ??? out there. I don't care. The Bengals do not have elite talent in their RB room currently and can get this production elsewhere. 

Grabbing a day three guy often, like you suggested, would be fine. Every few years, grab another late round guy and plug & play. You won't get elite play, but you don't need elite play at RB. Serviceable is just as good from a team success standpoint. 

Agree

I like Mixon and believe he's a good to very good RB. He's just not a game breaker/elite. I would be a little leery of cutting him at this point in the season though. But I'm meaning more so from a depth standpoint. What happens if Perine gets hurt ?

And yes Perine would do great with a little more workload in a committee IMO. No more than we run the ball it's not like he's going to be moving up to 35 carries a game.
