Yah, it's gonna be interesting in a few years because the Bengals have historically let players finish out their contract. This being a restructuring means they're gonna backload again for a future payday, after working Mixon hard this year. Will be interesting to see what the RB market looks like a few years out after the most recent implosion.

Edit

Actually looks like they restructured by moving more to incentives. Looks like this is more Mixon betting on himself and wanting to win now.
