I guess the Texans thought Mixon was going to get more than 8 million per year on the open market and wanted to lock him down?
Do we then avoid the 2 million dead cap hit Mixon would have brought us?
I love it.
His cap hit with the Texans is only 6.1M, so probably wanted to lock that in, though they could probably have signed him to a 2 year deal and had a lower 2024 cap hit. We still owe him the dead money because that stems from the signing bonus.
