CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals are making a big move at running back.

Longtime starter Joe Mixon was released and will be replaced by former Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday night.

Moss and Cincinnati agreed to terms on a two-year deal worth $8 million, including a $4.525 million payout in year one, a source told Schefter. That move prompted Mixon's release.

Mixon, a second-round draft pick out of Oklahoma in 2017, had been the Bengals' primary running back for the past seven seasons.
