The team already has 3 guys who have a high target demand in Higgins, Boyd and Chase. Adding a disgruntled back who is going to see his production cut down as he'd get less targets then he wants isn't a great fit.
The best fit that was out there at RB for this team was Devin Singletary. Would have been affordable and not looking to break the bank nor would he have to be the focal point of the offense.
At this point if you want a veteran so you can let Mixon go there is still two solid options. One is Jeff Wilson Jr, and the other is D'Onta Foreman. Neither should break the bank and both would be nice to pair with a mid round rookie.
Actually, as a player Ekeler fits what the Bengals are looking for to a tee, it's his contract and mileage on the body that isn't the perfect fit.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
