Mixon to take pay cut?

If they brought Perine back or signed a vet RB in FA, then I feel like the plan would be a little more clear. Right now, they only have Williams and Evans on the depth chart...both leave a lot to be desired of.

So even if they draft a RB somewhat early and cut Mixon, Im not sure I feel 100% confortable going into the season with THAT. Part of me wonders if they are going to double dip in the draft. Maybe go after a cowbell type of back like Charbonet and then draft a burner in the later rounds.

Either way, I am all for cutting Mixon - I am not sure things are super peachy with him and the guys in the locker room as well. I've just heard stories.

I think you are dismissing FA's. Fournette is better and would be cheaper. Elliott and Hunt also would be cheaper.

All 3 have a ton of NFL experience so if it is experience that is concerning, these 3 may be available after June 1 (would not count against compensatory picks).
