Duke Tobin made it very clear during his press conference Monday afternoon that extending Joe Mixon’s contract is a priority for the Cincinnati Bengals. The team’s director of player personnel verified this by saying he values the person and player Mixon is more than the position he plays.
The deal Mixon receives has been a bit tricky to project this offseason; new deals for Christian McCaffrey of the Panthers and Derrick Henry of the Titans has injected the running back market with some vibrance.
