Right now (in the next offseason), I think that they really must consider letting go of both Williams and Mixon.  They can likely get close to equal production from a cheaper back or even draft pick next year, and invest in a quality veteran LT.

Well Williams' 5th year option was already picked up and is fully guaranteed, so he's probably not going anywhere unless a team is willing to compensate the Bengals for that financial hit.
Mike Brown won't give someone a fully guaranteed year and then move on from them.

As for Mixon, he clearly is underperforming, and he's nowhere near the $11.4 mill he's making.
He'll be a Bengal the rest of this year probably, but the Bengals can free up $7.35 mill in cap next year if they move on this offseason.
Personally, I would do that and look to add a RB in next year's draft and/or cheap FA to replace him.
Put that saved $$ toward better OL and/or defense.
