Uh oh Joe Mixon

I liked Perrine....a lot.  But, although the Bengals did try to keep him, he was never going to be in a larger role in this offense.  I don't blame him bolting for a larger role.

I wish Joe Mixon well.  I never got the feeling he was Zac's guy.  Now, there's an opportunity to move on from him.  That said, if Mixon agrees to a huge pay cut, the Bengals might have to reconsider.  There are a lot of big name RB FAs still floating around out there.  Not all of them are going to be big money contracts.

A RB/FB like Luepke in the mid rounds could also be on our minds in this Draft. Dude is 235 pounds and is a damn good blocker and can 
catch the ball out of the backfield. Just like Perine. Of the RB's after Bijan, I would like Tyjae Spears or Tank Bigsby in the 2nd/3rd rounds 
and draft Leupke later on. We would be stacked at RB and be allowed to let Mixon go no problem.
