I don' really see any free agents I would want to take a chance on, and the only extension I want is Mixon.
Mixon will be the easiest to work out a deal because he is only due to make $1.2 million this year. We would not have to pay him like elite RBs. I'm guessing he would gladly sign a 4 year $32 million deal. That would be the 7th highest average salary for a RB which I think is about his value right now. But best of all for Mixon he could get like $10 million in his pocket today as a signing bonus.
I know RBs wear out quickly, but we could give him a 4 year extension and he would still just turn 27 a month before the final season of the deal.
I have a feeling Mixon could have a huge year and be a lot more expensive to re-sign next offseason. And I don't by the myth that talent at RB does not help a team win.
I think William Jackson will have a bounce back year, but he is too big of a mystery to give a long term extension.
I love AJ, but it would be crazy to give him a long term deal without seeing if he can still play. Even health WRs decline at his age. We have no idea what he will look like on the field.
I still have high hopes for Lawson. I think he might benefit a lot to the switch to 3-4. Even when he did not get a lot of sacks he was still getting "hurries". But, again, I am not willing to give him a big long term extension without seeing another season.
