Mixon's Migrane Should Be Good Now

I expect a big year from him barring injury, and if we were going to pay him a big contract, now is the time to do it while we have Burrow on the cheap. This team is shaping up to be loaded....

That is kind of what I was thinking as well.  The Bengals don't have any other big names coming up that might need a huge contract in the next year or two that I can think of.  Burrow, if he is what we all hope he is, will have a good 2 years before that big money contract even starts to become a discussion.  And that's if he totally lights it up in the next two years.   The only other person I can think of is AJ next year and again he will have to stay healthy and have a great year to earn a big contract next year.

I suppose when thinking about the cap and Mixon's cost there is some concern about any big name free agents next year if the Bengals want to spend heavy again.  

I'm not the smartest guy when it comes to figuring it all out money wise or knowing a lot about players that may be in line for a payday next year.  But it seems for now his deal isn't going to hinder the Bengals too much.

Edit: Also maybe the Mods could edit the title of this thread to something like "Mixon gets a new contract", because it seems a few others are not seeing that is what this thread is about and starting their own.
