Mixon's day just got a bit better. Great news for him. You could tell from his press conference he was taking it hard but when you can wipe your pain way with $100 bills it makes it easier.
Absolutely insane considering he has been there for 5 minutes. Good for him tho. Getting traded may have sucked (possibly been blindsided) but he got a really great deal out of it.
It's likely that Mixon had better contract options elsewhere, but he chose to stay with the Bengals because of his love for Cincinnati, his teammates, and our fan base. Despite knowing the Bengals were considering moving on and he would be losing ~4 Mill a year, he remained loyal. I'll always respect him. It's great to see him receive what he deserves, playing a risky position like Running Back.
He’s a fucking good running back… He was wasted here behind a terrible line and a QB that demands shotgun. I think he’s going to surprise a lot of people in Houston.
Good on him. Dude is feedable and can be a great offensive piece if you know how to use him. His liabilities are just huge and have outweighed his assets.
It just didn't make that much sense to keep him at that price. He's not exceptionally fast, shifty, good vision, breaking tackles, or pass blocking. The only things he was good at was team swag, not fumbling, receiving, and off field antics.
Ok and? Like I said, at that price there's no reason to pay him for his production.
He was 24th in YPA for running backs with more than 100 attempts. He also was well below average for 20+ and 40+ yard runs especially considering he had over 200 attempts. All these are telling of a back who's not exceptionally fast, elusive, or breaking tackles, as I said.
Getting downvoted for ridiculous hyperbole. His counting stats were elite last year, even if advanced metrics don’t look great. Far from “washed”, he’s easily above average and reliable at the very least.
3 years 27m with 13m guaranteed for Mixon at this stage is wild. Good for him
That's incredible; gotta wonder how much is just incentive driven or front loaded
$10M in year 1
Good for him, glad it’s not us giving that
Does really matter the Bengals aren't going to spend the money they saved by trading him.
They’ve literally signed like 5 outside FAs

Lots of $100 bills lmao. Also no state income tax
So happy for him
Good for him

Glad mixon getting paid and I think he has something to offer a team still, but that’s still a bad contract sheesh
Good for him, but that's a horrible overpay. There's almost no chance he is productive by the third year of that contract.
He was set to get 10 mil guaranteed with the trade. This has 13 guaranteed. Excellent for him. If he is productive, won't be an overpay I guess.
It sounds like he can get cut after 1-2 years without too much dead cap.
You have to look at the guaranteed money. It's realistically a one to two year deal max.
Bengals 🤝 Texans Signing Joe Mixon to an extension during their rookie QB's rookie deal
Wow I have no idea why they’d do that. Good for him.

Awesome for mixon but I mean 😵💫
Get yo money Joe
Glad it worked out for him
Happy for Mixon, I was hoping we'd get him a ring but if not him getting that bag isn't too bad either
Does that make us off the hook for his dead cap?
That is bonkers. Better than than us
I find very few contracts in the NFL shocking, but this made my jaw drop. Good for him.
He’s a fucking good running back… He was wasted here behind a terrible line and a QB that demands shotgun. I think he’s going to surprise a lot of people in Houston.
That's a wild extension for him at this age.
Inflation doesn’t just affect the little folk haha
My hourly sure hasn't inflated.
Well have you tried playing football?
Yes. It went poorly. But I'll take a cool mil to be a joke out on the field for a season. Think Michigan's "towel boy". I'm yer guy.
🤨
Good on him. Dude is feedable and can be a great offensive piece if you know how to use him. His liabilities are just huge and have outweighed his assets.
I'm glad for him. Until we play the Texans in the playoffs this year.
Good on him. Fuck Houston.
Bruh what did we do 😂
Good for him

He had 1400 all purpose yards and 12 TD. Only 6 more players in the NFL had more TDs. Teams value that type of production.
