  • The Athletic's Paul Dehner writes contract-year RB Joe Mixon is "prepared for a holdout" if he and the Bengals can't agree to a long-term deal.Mixon is headed into the final year of his rookie deal, which is set to pay him just over $1.2 million.  He's obviously insanely underpaid, and Mixon knows the deal with running backs -- their shelf life is short, so he needs to capitalize when able.  24 in July, Mixon is coming off yet another 1,000-yard season after piling up a huge second half following the Week 9 bye.  Mixon had 100 yards and/or one touchdown in 6-of-8 games down the stretch in 2019.  However, we've seen how holdouts go with running backs.  It could be a risky line to walk for Mixon.  It is notable the Bengals have been willing to spend money this offseason.

It basically, for all intents and purposes, made holding out financial suicide. IIRC, after 5 days players can be fined up to $40k a day. That fine must be paid by the player. They also lose, IIRC, a year in vesting.

That would only apply if he's not on his rookie contract.
