I know it wouldn't happen anyway but that is the way I was looking at it.
Mixon is getting paid way too much for this to happen, just saying that Gio played very well last year in his absence and to get
paid as much as Mixon is he needs to stay healthy and contribute. Boyd stays healthy and contributes, very valuable player to us.

Well yeah, we overpaid Mixon but that doesn't mean he isn't a very good to great RB who still has great upside.
Was just saying that I don't want to trade Boyd at all.

True.
Sad, but true.

To trade Mixon at this point, would be as equally devastating to the team as trading away Tyler Boyd for magic beans (draft picks). The quality level of the roster on this team is truly dire. They have had so many 1st round busts in recent years, that even the front office has changed it's opinion about spending in free agency.
Yep. Gotta keep the young good proven players and replace the bad ones or coach them up. Simple as that.
