Mixon appears to be in top 12 in the NFL under most reasonable stats.

I think Mixon is a top 10 RB and do not know what that means in terms of pay but he is not a top 5 back. I think in terms of salary, maybe 6-8 mil per. I think Mixon wants something like 10 mil per which I do not think Bengals would pay and I do not think he has demonstrated such a salary.

Still, if the Bengals pay him a like a top 10 back, I think it would be good to do so over this next season to offer such an extension. I love his attitude and he stated that he wants to be a Bengal for life, then he can prove it.
