Bengals still undecided on Joe Mixon, and Jessie Bates won’t get the franchise tag

The Cincinnati Bengals have a few league-altering decisions to make over the next few years. Extending Joe Burrow and potentially Tee Higgins are going to be a few of the most talked-about topics in the Queen City.

The former is a given, as will be doing whatever it takes to extend Ja’Marr Chase in the coming years. But, there are other options that could be more difficult to retain, namely Joe Mixon and Hayden Hurst.

Hurst is a free agent and has a solid market after a good season in Cincinnati. Mixon could be cut this offseason, and that would save the Bengals $7 million in cap space which could be huge for both this offseason and next.
