Kind of surprised by this one as well. I was hoping g to get him back in a team friendly deal. RB in the draft is a need now for sure.
Bruuuuuuuhhhhh
God dammit.
Damn wish we could of brought him back. He out performed and ran better than even Mixon at times
Sucks that we might be stuck with a vastly over paid back in Mixon now
Now let’s go get Austin Ekeler
Damn, guess we’re keeping Mixon despite his baggage so far this offseason. 2 years $7.5 Million is something we should have been able to easily match. We entered FA with the 5th most cap space, and we’ve only used it to re-sign Pratt. Was hoping we’d make some more moves by now.
This sucks for a number of reasons. Mixon has more leverage and won’t restructure. Perine went for cheap and could have been our starter. That would be more money for an OT to replace Collins who will be out most of or all year. Our line right now isn’t as good as last year when is was bad most games.
Just confused now
they have to have something huge up their sleeves….right…?
damn man, they’re poaching our boys.
I did not expect this. Really hoping we get Austin Eckler now
Now we have multiple holes in the roster
Finally Reddit is back up
Ekeler, Miles Sanders, Bijan, Jamaal Williams etc.
Plenty of options here.
The draft is deep at rb. Hopefully, the bengals can draft a couple of backs. It’s been 20 years since we had a gamebreaker at rb. Mike Brown loves his power backs but that doesn’t fit the offensive scheme anymore.
WHAT THE FUCK?!
Deserves more imo. Sad to see him go.
I don’t have anything more eloquent to say than, aww shucks.
Making room for Austin Ekeler to join Mixon
He is going to be missed. Good Luck.
I am soo soo sad & mad. This is a player we should.not.have.let.go!! 
This was the first thing I saw when Reddit came back 😭
Jamaal Williams + James Robinson get em signed
I absolutely do not understand this move
Just get us a reliable o lineman please
That’s fuckin bullshit dude was better than mixon
The rise of Chris Evans begins…
They have a plan.
They MUST.
I like Samaje but y’all are overreacting really hard to this.
I’m going to remain optimistic. As much as I don’t want to. I will trust the new process. Prowl on my dudes.
Kept the wrong sooner. Mixon needs to be put out.
Well now we need a rb that can block. Kinda gives me the feeling that we’re going to keep Mixon now. If they don’t restructure his contract I will be very disappointed in them. Hopefully Bijan drops to us!
Damn, he was one of my favorite players… good luck Perine.
Wtf 7.5 for 2 years how did we not match that???
Would’ve taken him over Mixon any day, wtf
Damn. Perine was our only running back with the ability to plow through. Dear God I can’t take another year of Mixon up the middle. It damn near game me a stroke.
Damnit, I was honestly on Team Cut Mixon and Start Samaje, even though Mix is pretty much my favorite player. This is what I get for being contradictory. Well, Mix, go run for 1500 next year!
It’s so early in the off-season process. If you have followed the Bengals off seasons over the years, you know they could take any direction. But in the last few years especially, I’ve learned to trust the process. Judge in September, not March.
Good job Samaje, nice payday!
I’ll miss him but anyone acting like Samaje Perine was irreplaceable is just being a doomer
Watching y’all freak out is hilarious lol
Does the FO think it’s rebuilding year or are they really going to pay Mixon that much to fall down due to wind gusts again?
This one hurts. I liked him more than Mixon last year.
Good luck man.
Reminds me of when we lost Gio, gonna miss him
This honestly makes me more sad than Vonn especially when you see the numbers Denver poached him for. Don’t really see the vision on this one
I love Perine. May still get his jersey. But, I gotta be honest, his production was replaceable. His attitude? Not so much. We’ll see how it works out. I still love what he did here. Best of luck to that beast of a man!
This saddens me, of our 2 main rbs I’d have rather lost Mixon and kept Perine.
