Only 6 RBs get paid more APY than Mixon:
- Christian McCaffrey
- Zeke Elliott
- Dalvin Cook
- Alvin Kamara
- Derrick Henry
- Nick Chubb
If a RB is going to get paid that much, they need to be a focal point of the offense.
The Bengals are not a premier rushing team.
As such, I'd be completely ok trading Mixon for even a single Day 2 pick.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

I'm not in favor of doing anything that makes this team worse this year. Trading Mixon for draft picks does that

I would be down for that. Would like a more explosive back anyways for this offense
