Joe Mixon May Hold Out

[lone bengal]

I think every fan would agree the Bengals are a better team with Joe Mixon playing this season. The question you have to ask yourself is signing Mixon good for the team in the long term. Down the road Mixon's big contract might prevent the team from resigning good players who play more important positions, for example like when Sam Hubbards , Jessie Bates , Carl Lawsons contracts are up or if they want to extend William Jackson after this season. I personally don't like paying running backs because I don't value the position. You can't pay everybody sometimes you have to make the smart business decision. Running backs have a short shelf life and good backs can be found in late rounds. You can't call the Bengals cheap either if they don't resign Joe Mixon because they spent a ton of money in free agency.
