RB Joe Mixon accepted a pay cut last season to remain with the Cincinnati Bengals. He reduced his salary from $9.4 million to $6 million with $2 million added via incentives. Players don’t accept pay cuts when they’re not ultimatums. The question is if the Bengals will send him another ultimatum in 2024. He is set to earn $5,750,000 all told through base salary and bonuses.
At the very least, Mixon doesn’t plan to go anywhere. Responding to an NFL Rumors Twitter account suggesting the Bengals are expected to release him, he wrote, “Lmao y’all said this last year too ud83eudd26ud83cudffdu2642ufe0fud83eudd23
That’s ud83eudd21 behavior”.
