I believe Clyde has a second round grade, and I showed before only about 10% of RBs taken in the second round have produced as well as Mixon.

What I do know, is if Mixon tries to force MB's hand, it's not going to turn out good for him. We all know about wanting more money or other things and still being under contract (see Carson Palmer). MB is stubborn.

Scenario 1: Mixon doesn't hold out because his agent gives him good advice about the new CBA. Mixon plays this year for 1.2 million.

Scenario 2: MB gets miffed about Mixon making noise about "not honoring his contract"(we know how MB feels about this) and trades Mixon for a player or draft pick(s). Forcing a RB too be taken in the 2nd or 3rd.

Scenario 3: Bengals decide to placate Mixon. Meaning trading Dalton/Bernard together or separate for picks. Opening up $$$ for Mixon's extension...
