This contract will be a steal after the year Mixon has.
Listening to the "Locked on Bengals" podcast with Jake Lisco and James Rapien during my lunchtime workout, the point that Mixon will be THE focal point of the offense this season was presented.
If you think about it, this makes a ton of sense. It won't be Green as he hasn't even stayed healthy through camp and we all know how nagging hamstrings can be. He will surely be a solid contributor if healthy, but he won't be the focal point. Neither will Burrow...or at least he shouldn't be. This season should be largely put on the shoulders of Mixon.
If he can pick up where he left off last year, making play-action that much more deadly with Burrow, then he will be THE guy on offense.
