I think a lot of people thought that was going to happen. Mixon would be cut saving the team 10 million in cap space and Perine would be the #1. Who knows, maybe thats what the Bengals were going to do. The problem is they had to sign Perine first before they cut Mixon that way they made sure they had a #1 RB signed. They couldnt cut Mixon first then have Perine sign with another team because the Bengals wouldnt have a #1 or #2 RB. Perine might have messed up the Bengals plans to move him to the #1 RB spot.
