Signing Mixon a good move?

I wasn't a fan of the extension just because I'm not a fan of giving RB's big money in any situation. Each team talks themselves into our contract being the one that will be the exception, not the rule, but it just never generally works out. Heck, even the McCaffery deal, which was for a guy who is legitimate in all parts of the game looks even worse because of Mike Davis doing a major portion of what CMC did.

I think the belief was always that we would be a more passing oriented team with Burrow and Mixon didn't fit that. If he gets more involved in the passing game, great, but until he does he'll never be worth that contract. It doesn't help that he's been injured.
