Bengals to release RB Joe Mixon after seven seasons
After seven seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, running back Joe Mixon’s time with the team is coming to an end. The Bengals have confirmed that they will release Mixon, a second-round pick in 2017 who had four 1,000-yard rushing seasons, including 1,034 yards in 2023.
Mixon had restructured his contract last year, but was due to make $6 million in 2024. Some believe the Bengals should have released Mixon sooner to give him a better chance to sign with another team before other running backs were signed. However, the Bengals may have kept Mixon around as they negotiated with other players, eventually landing on a deal with Zack Moss.
Now, Mixon, 27, will have the opportunity to generate interest from other teams as he becomes a free agent. This news has sparked discussions and speculation among football fans and analysts about where Mixon may end up next in his career.
