1) Mixon gets roughly $2.5 million of the signing bonus now. I am sure that makes a difference to Joe.
2) Accordingly, his cap number is $2.5 mil higher this year, as is ours.
Thus, this new deal, while a 4 year extension (with a team option on the last year), is paying Mixon money over 5 years, not 4. Comprende?
I got a feeling he's starting to understand, but as this point he's dug his heels in.
