If Hurst doesn’t resign they will draft a TE. If Collins rehab doesn’t look like he’ll be ready then they will draft a tackle. Mixon is not the problem. The problem is the OL. Mixon showed against Carolina he’s still got it. They like their running back room. Mixon may have to literally give some money to Perine. It’s very evident they want to keep everyone. Of course that’s unrealistic. But there’s bigger issues than the running back room except for Mixon’s contract
I'm not aware of the overall trend, but paying a RB $9.4 million to play like a backup most weeks while being a total liability in the blocking game seems like a really big problem. The whole Mixon pay/situation needs a big shakeup, methinks.
If you take away Mixon's best game and his worst game of 2022 you have
177 attempts
640 yards
3.73 AVG
3 TDs
51 receptions
350 yards
1 TD
