I think Mixon will be extended and will become an even larger focal point of the offense....as a receiver.  

Run CMC just got a huge deal, but is roughly 40% more productive in terms of all-purpose yards than Joe.  Give Joe 60% of CMC's contract?  If only it was that easy.  Joe was given an opportunity here with a fairly high draft selection (and salary) after his issue in college.  Since then, it has worked out pretty well for both parties.  If Mixon doesn't have to come off the field any longer so Gio can go in to pick up blitzers (dumb), they can use his outstanding ability as a receiver.  Gio as well.  

I think Joe is a guy that really wants to win and has a lot of energy.  I want guys like that on my team.  He should get extended.
