Updating a previous story, Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon’s four-year, $48-million contract extension includes a $10 million signing bonus and $1.3 million in base salary in 2020. He’ll earn $8 million in base salary in 2021 and 2022, $9.4 million in 2023 and has a team option for $9.6 million in 2024.
Footballguys View: Mixon is paid and will lead the way for the Bengals offense. They’ll use him as the battering ram and centerpiece of what they do offensively while rookie QB Joe Burrow gets experience at the pro level. Fantasy GMs are taking Mixon off the board at RB11 (2.01) in 12-team PPR leagues.
