I know you love to attack the front office but this is a short sighted view. While I think Gio was slightly overpaid signing a RB for what Mixon will want is dumb... not to mention he could hold out and Gio would be RB1. Gio's contract is an easy cut this season or the next so they have insurance for any eventuality.
