We set his market value moving forward at 12 million a year. Period. End of story.
I can't believe you guys argue such a simple concept. Yes, over 5 year he makes 9.6 mil. But the 4 years extended is new money, and reflects his current market value. The money needed to secure him beyond this season is how you determine the value of the contract. The first year was already in place, which was set 3 years ago.
Actually, it IS a bit different. I cannot believe you cannot understand such a simple concept (back at you).
1) Mixon gets roughly $2.5 million of the signing bonus now. I am sure that makes a difference to Joe.
2) Accordingly, his cap number is $2.5 mil higher this year, as is ours.
Thus, this new deal, while a 4 year extension (with a team option on the last year), is paying Mixon money over 5 years, not 4. Comprende?
