Right now, for what Mixon can bring to the table, I consider the contract fair and could (emphasis on the word COULD) prove to be a bargain. If he puts up CMC numbers this year, we will be singing the Brown family's praises for getting it done in advance.
Plus, at the very least, it is one thing less that ZT has to worry about. His team, as he wished it to be assembled, is largely healthy and ready to take the field.
...or he could become Bell, Gurley, Johnson, Freeman and we are regretting it. History shows us he is more likely to be one of those guys than McCafferey, who himself could fall into a similar boat. People here hate this take, I get it, but the stats just say you are more likely to lose than win on re-signing backs because the data shows the decline is a real thing for almost all backs after 5-6 years of usage.
