Chase Brown is a good player for us and I really like how he improved so much catching the ball out of the backfield this year.

And when you look at the comparison to Mixon's production last year in CIN and this year in HOU...they really have about at least the same performance for way cheaper.

Mixon 2023 - 309 touches for 1410 yards and 12 TDs (4.56 YPT)
Mixon 2024 - 232 touches for 1131 yards and 12 TDs (4.88 YPT)
Brown 2024 - 210 touches for 1037 yards and 9 TDs (4.94 YPT)

While you could argue the OL is slightly different for 2023 Mixon and 2024 Brown plus different OC, it's still very comparable.

It is kinda crazy Brown is already turning 25 in March though, so he may not ever be like a Top 10 RB, but I'd be ok with that. He's still a mid-tier RB, which is fine for this offense.
