Some say cut him to save 9 million but then say add a RB in FA that will mostly be a wash. Realistic scenario to me is Bengals stay the course for this year with Mixon mainly for 3 reasons
1. He is a proven 3 down back great in security of ball and knows system
2. Brown is unproven, need more evaluation this year as a RB
3. More pressing needs in FA and draft this year.
I agree with all of this. I understand Mixon has his negatives but I think he takes way too much of the blame for our run game. I think cutting him only really saves about 6 mil and then we are gonna try and sign a FA? Just seems like not alot of room there for a FA that will probably be a down grade. I'd think keep Mixon and focus FA and the draft elsewhere atleast until the mid late rds.
