We should "call our shot" with Mixon's contract. I won't mess with guaranteed money, as I have no idea what formula is the latest average for determining that figure, but the overall contract I see Mixon signing will be:
4 years, $35 million.
Works out to $8.75 million per year.
I think it is fair for Mixon, and wise for the Bengals. If Mixon has the year I think he can have with Burrow and better utilization of him in the passing game, he could increase his value substantially with a big season. $8.75 per year might sound like a lot now, but in a couple years, it might feel like a bargain.
