But to replace the best ones you just have to use a high draft pick or a lot of money in free agency.
RBs do wear out quicker than other positions, but they are still worth paying up until 28 or so. And that is exactly how old Mixon will be in the final year of this deal.
Sure, technically, but RBs are typically more replaceable than other positions. The second round seems like a gold mine for RBs. Chubb, Mixon, Taylor, Dalvin Cook, Javonte Williams are all guys producing really well that were drafted in the second round. Then you have guys like Ekeler, Hunt, Robinson, Pollard, Edmonds, Sanders, Henderson that are all mid-round guys that are also producing well.
I would lean towards not paying a RB big money and using that cap space on OL or DL talent, but I have no problem with Mixon's contract. I'm just hoping he can stay healthy, he has had some nagging injury issues. He is very talented.
