Joe Mixon May Hold Out

[BFritz21]

I get people saying that running backs aren't as valuable anymore but I think Mixon needs to be paid and I definitely think he needs to be paid now before he busts out and has a monster year where he's demanding even more money.

A good running game, even in today's NFL, is a quarterback's best friend, and that's especially true for a rookie qb. Mixon will take so much pressure off of Burrow, both mentally by making plays and not requiring him to carry the team and in his play by making teams respect the run.

Personally, I'd pay him while we still can get him relatively cheap because I believe that he's one of the best backs in the league and I can't wait to see him with Burrow.
