Get that money off the books, and use it to frontload an extension for Mixon. With the extra pick and #33, go WR and LB.
There's some great WRs in this class, who can step in immediately and help you build long term. AJ Green does nothing to help Burrow in 2022 and beyond, and he's not putting us over the hump this year into a ring.
Lock up Mixon, get younger, and start building for the future. Make it a truely New Day.
Agree 100% as long as we are not talking about crazy money for Mixon. He is very good, but he is not Zeke or Derrick Henry. 4 year $35 million makes him the 5th highest paid RB in the league by yearly average, and he will just be 27 on the final year of that deal.
Mixon is one of only three RBs to have over 1100 yards each of the last two years, and we got that production for less than $800K a year. We owe the man.
