This year will mark the 9th year in a row that the leading rusher on a SB winning team makes 2% or less of the team's cap.
Joe Mixon counts toward 5.61% of the cap next year.
I knew that most Super Bowl winning teams were more pass-heavy, but I didn't realize it was this severe.
Does this sway anyone one way or the other with keeping Mixon?
Leading rusher on the 2013-14 Seahawks was Marshawn
That aside, I am all for cutting bait with Mixon and going a cheaper route.
Edit: I thought it meant for the whole season, not the game itself.
