He's had one good season in the NFL, and plays the most expendable position in the game. I don't disagree that he'll leave, but I doubt he's gonna have a ton of suitors backing up the Brink's truck to his door.
I never said anyone would give Todd Gurley money to Mixon. Just saying that he will have options and he'd be much better off elsewhere. Averaging 3 ypc behind a doo-doo line isn't helping his career earnings potential. He's better off signing elsewhere and showing what he can really do so he can possibly get to the "brinks truck" level. It certainly isn't happening here anytime soon.
Btw, good RB's still have value in the NFL. That's why the best ones get paid and the best college ones are still being drafted high. It's not as expendable as some think.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
