My sticking point is if he gets to the point where he's demanding a top RB deal.  He may very well be one, but between now and the start of 2021, the Bengals will have 2 drafts to decide whether or not to replace him with a younger, more affordable back.  If he shows his ass in the meantime, the decision gets easy for the team.  

I think the decision is already easy for the team. Mixon is scheduled to make 1.2 this year.

Offer him a 3yr deal for 15 mil. Thats Dalton's salary + 2mil for the team.

Trade Mixon to get an extra 2nd or 3rd rounder and draft his replacement.

We all know how MB feels about players trying to leverage him (New Dey or not)...
