They have visited with RB's and TE positions the most leading up to the Draft. Perine going to Denver even exemplifies it all.
Fun times, been since we drafted Mixon since we were really looking at RB's. Love it when we get to look at the RB's in the draft.
Exciting position. They won't keep Mixon, he costs too much and cannot pass block and at times has bad vision.
I would be almost as surprised as the Orlando Brown signing if we have one more year of Mixon.
Saves money to designate him a June 1st cut right now and there are so many options out there that are willing pass blockers,
that have good vision and burst and can catch the ball out of the backfield. McKinnon being one of them if his neck is alright.
Yeah there are about 6 or 7 RBs that would help form a good platoon with the rookie, but Mixon is still a Bengal. I don't disagree that he should be cut, but the fact that they haven't been actually linked to any vets yet means something.
