Paul Dehner predicts Joe Mixon and the Bengals will restructure his contract
Joe Mixon may not be out of the woods quite yet in terms of his status on the Cincinnati Bengals’ roster.
Between Mixon’s so-so 2022 season and his offseason legal issues, many believed the Bengals would ultimately part ways with the veteran running back, or ask him to take a paycut.
However, comments from head coach Zac Taylor and offensive coordinator Brian Callahan made it appear Mixon’s job was safe, especially since the only other notable backs on the roster are rookie Chase Brown and seldom-used veterans Trayveon Williams and Chris Evans.
Not so fast.
