Joe Mixon was a 1,000-yard rusher for the Cincinnati Bengals in the National Football League for the fourth time in seven seasons.
Why then would the Bengals think about cutting ties with Mixon? Midway through March, the seasoned running back is expected to get a $3 million roster bonus. Additionally, his 2024 salary cap impact would come to roughly $8.85 million.
Mixon has one year left on his current contract with the Bengals after agreeing to a contract restructuring last July.
Mixon may become a cap casualty as Cincinnati searches for someone predicted to make less than him when NFL free agency opens on March 11.
The Bengals are one of three possible destinations for Baltimore Ravens running back and former Ohio State Buckeyes star JK Dobbins, according to Jordan Dajani of CBS Sports.
In 2020, Dobbins finished as a rookie with 805 running yards, nine touchdowns, and 120 receiving yards. But an ACL tear kept him out of the 2021 campaign. In 2022, he participated in eight games before sustaining another knee injury. And in the first week of the previous season, he tore his Achilles.
Dobbins stated in January 2023 that if Lamar Jackson had been the quarterback for the Ravens, they would have won their playoff game in Cincinnati. In place of the injured Jackson was Tyler Huntley.
In the last regular-season game of the 2020 season, Baltimore defeated Cincinnati 38-3 in January 2021, with Dobbins amassing 160 rushing yards on 13 carries.
