If he gets franchised he will do the same thing again or just straight hold out. Joe Mixon has worked hard and been a great example of overcoming your past. He loves the team and he's super young so making an argument that we keep an injured 32 year old receiver over a 24 year old stud running back is just ignorant imo.
This seems like a Straw man, but I'll bite.
I don't want to pay AJ 18 million. I don't think he's going to be the old AJ. I also don't want to pay Joe Mixon a ton. Sure, I'll go for something reasonable, but the value returned on RB extensions seems to be very small. Look at every playoff team this year. None are paying running backs big money. They've invested it in defenses and lines.
There was a great thread about this on Twitter yesterday. I highly recommend checking it out
