The Cincinnati Bengals are trading Joe Mixon to the Houston Texans.
Ian Rapoport broke the news first. We’re still waiting to see what the compensation is for the veteran running back, but it figures to be a late Day 3 NFL Draft pick, possibly a conditional selection.
The 27-yard-old Mixon is now entering his eighth NFL season after being a second-round pick out of Oklahoma in the 2017 NFL Draft. He was one of the last holdovers from the Marvin Lewis era and helped the Bengals Super Bowl LVI under Zac Taylor, as well as the AFC Championship the following season.
