In a move that showcases his commitment to the Cincinnati Bengals, running back Joe Mixon has agreed to restructure his contract, ensuring his continued presence in the Queen City.
Mixon, who had a non-guaranteed base salary of $9.4 million, worked closely with the team to reach an agreement that benefits both parties, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
This decision speaks volumes about Mixon’s loyalty to the Bengals organization, as well as his desire to contribute to their ongoing success. By restructuring his contract, Mixon has demonstrated a willingness to work within the team’s financial framework while still being fairly compensated for his exceptional skills and contributions on the field.
Mixon’s decision comes as no surprise to those who have followed his career closely. Since being drafted by the Bengals in 2017, he has become an integral part of their offense, showcasing his versatility and explosiveness as a runner and receiver.
The restructured contract not only solidifies Mixon’s future with the Bengals but also provides the team with additional flexibility in managing their salary cap. This move highlights the organization’s commitment to building a competitive team while keeping key players in the fold.
With Mixon’s contract situation resolved, Bengals fans can look forward to seeing him continue to make a significant impact on the field, helping lead the team to new heights. His restructured deal serves as a testament to his dedication to the franchise and his belief in the team’s potential for success in the seasons to come.
His agent, Peter Schaffer released a statement on the running back taking the pay cut: “Joe’s goal is to win a Super Bowl and play his career in Cincinnati and this is the best way to accomplish these goals.”
