While a good portion of the league's running backs are unhappy with their lack of compensation, the Cincinnati Bengals found a way to keep their veteran running back with the team at a discount.
Joe Mixon, who turned 27 on Monday and was a Pro-Bowler in 2021, agreed to restructure his contract earlier this month with two years left on the four-year extension he signed prior to the 2020 season. Mixon, who is entering his seventh season in Cincinnati, is now on a two-year deal worth $11.5 million and the Bengals have the option to cut the former second-round pick after this year and save $5.
