MB is the type of owner that may allow JMix to play out his contract. If I am remembering correctly, he was the 4th ranked RB in the AFC last season. It's not that keeping him would kill us but that 6 mill could be used more efficiently.
I don’t want a player who has not been happy with any team.

Except he never played for the Ravens. He was drafted by the Texans, then played for the Titans, Panthers and Bears. 
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Tough crowd. Okay I said Ravens. He’s played for Indy, Houston, Chicago, and Carolina. He’s well traveled. Sorry I don’t think he’s a fit.

No, he never played with the Colts, either...

By all accounts we have that great culture going on here. If his biggest issue is being vocal about wanting more playing time, I think he'd fall in line. Ja'Marr bitched about being "always ******' open" this past season. They kept him around.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

It shows he was on the colts in 2019 here. They claimed him then had a torn bicep put him on IR and then released him. Technically he never played for them but was picked up.

When you look at his career on Pro Football Reference, it doesn't even mention the Colts, or even show being on any team in 2019. However it went, I'm going off the one season in 2022 where he got over 200 carries with the Panthers and averaged 4.5/per for the case that he can get the job done. Last year he played with a Bears team with an OL so bad that Walter Payton would have struggled would have had a tough time putting up respectable numbers. In my mind, he's like a faster Samaji Perine.

Because there are only like 5 good ones currently in the league, and none of them are available?

Yeah he's a much faster Perine.

I don't doubt the quality of any of those backs, but I'd be leery of spending significant money on any of them. Weather it be age, premature age from overuse, injury history, or a guy with character issues that has an inflated view of his own worth, I think the risk of investing big in any of them would be very high.

Threadbare... Those guys have all been around as long as the worn out JAG that we're trying to move on from. Barkley might have some left but I think he'll stay in New York for more than we'd wanna pay him. Those guys were all excellent at one point though.

I think Hunt is completely washed. 3.4 yards per carry and 5.9 yards per catch over the last 2 years with the Browns OL.
134 carries last year and a long rush of just 16. Only 2 broken tackles according to PFR. The worst qualified RB in yards after contact in the NFL last year, 44th out of 44.
Would not be shocked if he's not on a roster when the 2024 season starts.

With how little we rush, I would give Ekeler a chance if he's willing to come here cheapish ($3m + incentives?) on a 1 year deal to try to win. My main worry with him is just how bad he's been in the playoffs. Not sure if that's a him issue or a Chargers issue, though.

i found this on CBS Sports ranked by expected 2024 FA RB market value:
Jacobs $10.6
Henry $10.3
Saquon $9.9
Ekeler $7.4
D' Swift $6.7
Pollard $6.5
Moss $4.6
AJ Dillon $3.5
where would Joe Mixon rank if we cut him loose ?
And who do you sign, if anyone ?
