His cap hit would remain the same in 2020, but he'd have 15 million more dollars in his pocket right now with 15 million more to come from 2021 to 2023.

If that isn't enough for him, I say let him hold out. You really can't commit more than 8 million AAV to a running back in this league anymore. It's just too much.

Agreed.

I'd even go as far as 11-12 mil, just in case.

It 100% rings true for RBs in today's game, but Mixon is clearly a special talent. And he loves the city. And he's (though iffy on this now) a team player.
