As much as I like Mixon and think he's a great team guy cheerleader type, I don't think they should pay him $10-12 Mill a year and keep him.
If you look at many of the young Franchise QB models, the teams try to get in the same draft typically:
--LT, C, and/or RT (EX. Isaiah Wilson)
--WR (Ex. Chase Claypool)
--RB (Ex. Clyde Hellaire)
--TE (Ex. Cole Kmet)
All of those players on Offense can help protect and grow with your QB, and all are on rookie contracts.
You supplement the Team with big dollar deals on Defense and OL and other supplemental offensive pieces if needed.
Maybe this year is okay to be paying AJ Green the big money. But, I wouldn't put a lot of money into Mixon and AJ for Long term.
That money should go into the rest of the Defense and O linemen.
Draft the skill position players to groom and grow with the Franchise QB!
