It's pretty crazy, but the past 5 years have shown second contracts for running backs are really really bad ideas.

I hope they pay Mixon as well, but I hope he understands that the market will probably dictate his salary at around 6 to 8 million per year at most.

The new landscape for RB's is, like you say, 6 to 8 mil or play out the rookie deal, franchise twice, replace.  Now,you're at either six or seven years in, otherwise known as when most RB's start to break down.  In the rare instances when that doen't happen, then the player is lookig at a series of one year deals probably on multiple teams.
