Not working for Melvin Gordon because he's overrated, but Zeke and Gurley got pizz-aid with lots of guaranteed money. I wish I didn't think this move to lock up Gio for 2 years had something to do with the fact that Mikey knows the market for RBs is exploding again and has no desire to pay Mixon what he'll demand next year. But then again, Brown always has paid his own.

If they use Gio appropriately (and "appropriately" definitely includes keeping lots of wear off Joe's tires), then this isn't a bad thing. An overpay, to be sure, but not a terrible one.

If we don't think Mike Brown will pony up for Mixon, why not run him into the ground?
