Uh oh Joe Mixon

To those who say Zeke is done, he had 12 TD's rushing in 2022, Joe had 7 rushing Td's.

If we could get Zeke for 4 million and lose the 10+ million contract in 2023 and 2024 of Mixon, i would say yes do it.

The problem as I see it, with signing a guy like Zeke who has a million miles on the tires, is no longer capable of being the 3 down featured back with any consistency.  If you turn him into the situational back, it kind of tips the defense as to what's coming by personnel package.  I might be more comfortable with this, if the Bengals OL takes that next step and can just line up and say "Yeah, we're going to run it down your throat. Try to stop us.".
