Always amazes me how players can have agreements minutes into the "legal tampering" period. Is there a hidden "barely legal tampering" period that I don't know about?

Mixon's original contract wasn't much less but the salary cap at rhr time was alot less....

Mixon cut has to come in 6 days to avoid the bonus but it seems less likely it is happening since they didn't sign a free agent, yet.

Quote:Former Packers guard Jon Runyan reached agreement on a three-year deal with the New York Giants for $30 million, including $17 million guaranteed at signing. The deal was confirmed by agents Drew Rosenhaus and Kyle Lincoln.

The Mixon cut is more about his utter inability to make the first defender miss and/or break the first tackle than it is about money from the fan perspective.

And if Mixon hadn’t taken a pay cut he wouldn’t be a Bengal still, but on their current deals Barkley is not worth the minimum extra 3 million more.

People were well off thinking with all these RBS available it would be a buyers market, hope the same doesn’t apply for the safeties.

The Running Back market could be an indication of how the league feels about this year's RB Draft Class.

Eagles going all out with the Barkley signing. Also will be a popular signing, as he lived in PA (although born in NYC) and played at Penn State.

[Soonerpeace]

Don’t be surprised if Mixon is traded for a 4th or 5th rounder.

I hope it is. This is actually a good RB draft class if you are in the market for hard hitting power style backs. Rds 3/4 will be a good place to get one (Benson, Estime, etc.).

He better be comfy pushing the tushie for the money he's getting.

[THE PISTONS]

Come on Bengals. Sign Ekelar to a 2 year deal.
