Joe Mixon wants to be 'Bengal for life' as he mulls contract extension

CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon was hesitant to admit the thought of a new contract crossed his mind.

With the season officially over, following Sunday's 33-23 win over the Cleveland Browns, Mixon’s future with the Bengals will be one of the franchise’s biggest storylines of the offseason. The third-year running back said a contract extension is part of a long-term vision that keeps him in Cincinnati for the rest of his career.

“At the end of the day, man, I love being here,” Mixon told ESPN.
