4 years, $35 million.  

Works out to $8.75 million per year.

I think it is fair for Mixon, and wise for the Bengals.  If Mixon has the year I think he can have with Burrow and better utilization of him in the passing game, he could increase his value substantially with a big season.  $8.75 per year might sound like a lot now, but in a couple years, it might feel like a bargain.

I think that's reasonable. I believe we've just scratched the surface of what Mixon can do in the passing game. Dalton was just not good in the short passing game. And add in the bad oline and the opportunity was just not there much.

I'm anxious to see Burrow working with Mixon and all the receivers for that matter.
