Mixon would be paid nothing if he held out under the new CBA. This is all just talk from an agent then the media blowing it
out of proportion as usual.

This is actually incorrect, but it's understandably confusing. Under the new CBA the hold out penalties apply to people holding out on a signed 2nd contract ("Contracts signed as a veteran"). This is Mixon's first (Rookie) contract and therefor is not subject to the NFL's new rules regarding a holdout.
