They say the key for an entertainer is knowing your audience and I think that applies here.

Where is Mixon threatening Mike again? This is his agent trying to get him paid is all and he deserves to be paid more 
than 1.2 mil a year and I would think even Mike would agree with that.

He taking away however much money from making the line better to make them look better. Plus, he went for 1100 yards and we still had a losing record each year. Like I stated above, it's a passing league, so the RB position is devalued more and more.

Pay him like a top 10 back and he will be happy I am sure. 10 mil a year or around that mark, very fair.

Moving on from the likes of Dalton, Shawn and Gio would make this easily doable.

Scenario 1: Mixon doesn't hold out because his agent gives him good advice about the new CBA. Mixon plays this year for 1.2 million.

Scenario 2: MB gets miffed about  Mixon making noise about "not honoring his contract"(we know how MB feels about this) and trades Mixon for a player or draft pick(s). Forcing a RB too be taken in the 2nd or 3rd.

Scenario 3: Bengals decide to placate Mixon. Meaning trading Dalton/Bernard together or separate for picks. Opening up $$$ for Mixon's extension...

Again, Mixon is not trying to force MB's hand, so quit saying it guys. 

Scenario 3 is what is most likely going to happen JSR18.
