Some moves just don't make sense. We could not replace Gio's value on the field and in the locker room for $4 Mil
I love Gio, but actually being able to run the ball a little bit when Mixon is out of the game is also helping to protect Burrow.
He's still great in pass pro, but hasn't been an effective rusher since '17 and his ability as a receiver has also tailed off the last three or so years. He's basically an undersized FB that you can't even use as a lead blocker, at this point.
