Most top RBs hold out in the last year of their deal due to the risk of injury at the position. They want to get a deal while avoiding training camp. I think Joe will sign near the end of camp (like Zeke did) for and avg around 13-14M.
The news happened to break when CMC signed his deal, but he never said he wanted the same exact money. In fact to my knowledge he hasn't publicly said anything about it. How quickly we identify "Burrow won't play for Cincinnati" as anti-Bengal nonsense but don't extend the same benefit of the doubt to Mixon.
I agree but when the market resets like it did with McCaffrey, you know the man will be expecting something similar. I am just assuming the worst, he wants close to 16M a year which is not even worth talking about.
I would love to know how much he actually wants, but only the Bengals will know that.
If the Dolphins offered #39 for Mixon I would jump on it
