Mixon- Bengals had productive talks

He would not be able to be a FA in 2021. No way he wants to make $1.9 mil for two more years. The holdout stuff is total nonsense.

Having said that, Mixon has put up HUGE rushing numbers (like Henry, Elliot,  or Gurley), nor is he a dual threat guy like McCafferey, Barkley, or Bell. He's a two-down back. Anything north of $10 mil is too much in my book. 

If it is north of that, we'd be better off paying him $1.9 this year and tagging him. Right? Use the savings for O-line/TE/DE help.

I also read where the deal needed to be done AFTER July 15, for contract purposes of some kind. So 2 months before it is likely official.

You're joking, right?

He's not McCaffrey (nobody is), but really?
