He was a rook in 2017. His rookie deal was 2017-2020. He signed a 4 year, $48 mil deal that would have expired in 2024.
The new deal is for '23 & '24. No extra years. I think for $17.7 mil. $8.85 per (in terms of cap hit). This actual payout is more like $12 mil, I think.
What Mixon got out of it was not getting cut last year when his value was way under $8.85/$6 and the possibility of making $8.85/$6 again this year. (cap/actual).
Do I have that right?
I think the initilial cap hit was $12 per or so. So the Bengals got helped there.
