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.

I like your thinking. This sounds about right to me as I think Mixon is about to blow up the league with Burrow.
