Fwiw, here is a breakdown of Joe Mixon vs. Chris Carson, which I think helps set the current RB market:

Mixon - 4
Carson - 4

Mixon - 50
Carson -45

Career Rushing Yards
Mixon - 3,359
Carson - 3,270

Carson - 72.6

Mixon - 20
Carson - 21

Carson - 775

Career Receiving TD's

Carson - 7

Career Total TD's
Mixon - 25
Carson - 28

Contract
Mixon - 4 year entension for 48 million (12 mil per), with 10 million dollar signing bonus
Carson - 2 year deal (open market) for for 10.4 million (5.2 mil per), with a 4.5 million dollar signing bonus

Unless the situations are identical its hard to compare. 

What would those stats look like if they swapped teams during those 4 years??
