Look, I know what Joe has done for the bengals, and I know he has good hands.

I also know Joe will want a big pay day, and if there were ever a time he could have gotten a large contract it was before FA. Problem is, we decided to upgrade a bunch of areas on defense which are more important than the rb position in today’s nfl.

I am not saying I don’t want to keep Joe, but if he wants to hold out at the beginning of the year in a year that’s extremely important to not have any other problems with a new QB, I’m looking to cut all that out if I’m ZT. F that means Joe gets traded I’m fine with that, they like the rb they drafted in the 6th.

You can not agree with me, but Id rather have more picks than a guy holding out for more money we don’t have right now

Well I agree with a lot of what you say here but in the Mixon thread Bengalfan74 found a tid bit about the new CBA 
where players in certain years of their careers cannot hold out now cause they get zero. If you want to read it is in 
that thread but it is really long and complicated.

If there is a time to pay Mixon it is now before he blows up the league with Burrow in my opinion. Samhain was stating
how the worst thing that could happen here is Mixon doesn't hold out, blows up the league, we don't extend him and
we have to franchise tag him. Then he would have every right to be pissed off.

Mixon is only making like 1.2 mil a year, I know that seems a lot to us but not for one of the best RB's in the NFL...

I say pay him decent, just don't break the bank and he will be happy.
