It keeps tread on his tires, and Bell showed it can result in a big payday.
Basically sacrificing a year of pay to get the big long term contract.
Especially given Mixon would be playing on a rookie contract (only $1.7 mill), he really wouldn't be losing much if he lands a big deal in FA next year.

Hadn't thought about that, but still think it would be stupid with Burrow coming in who passes to the RB's so much and in 
this economy should get what you can right now. BTW, read 1.2 mil in an article that Mixon is being paid, could be wrong 
though.
