I've watched Mixon destroy our D for the last 5 years.  And he's destryoing other D to this day.

Mixon was Drafted in 2017.  That's freaking 6 years of great production with no sign of slowing down.  I think ETN is right in that caliber, maybe even better.  All I'm saying is that you gotta respect your best players.  ETN is one of our best players.  I just hope we don't treat ETN like the Giants treated Barkley, or how the clots treated Taylor.  Or how the Vikings treated their dude (forget his name).

Pay ETN, give him a 2nd contract that he's happy with and let's have a legit RB for another 5 years.  When you see how other RBs really are, it's clear that the Elite RBs are worth the money.

Waaayyyyyy to far ahead to make the decision on if we should pay him or not.  We can let him play on his 5th year option and tag him twice and then make the decision if we want.  Just have to let it play out at least 2 or 3 more years and then make the decision.  Vikings absolutely made the right decision on Cook remains to be seen on Barkley and Taylor.
