MIxon TRADED to Texans

[jj22]

I took seeing Mixon cut harder than I thought given we knew it was coming and I had even called for it in the past. Still Mixon stuck through some hard times and always gave good energy, was never a locker room problem, and was good to the fans.

Then he was traded and I felt at least they did right by him. Then he was extended and hell Mixon got a good deal out of all of this.

I think he'll thrive motivated for the Texans for next season anyway. He'll star for them in primetime and under the bright lights.

In 2025 they'll see some of the troubling signs we saw as it relates to hitting holes and breaking tackles / big runs....

But for 2024, I think the Texans will see a motivated Mixon worth the trade.

I do wonder if the Bengals even tried to trade him last season or prior to announcing his release. At first it seemed like a 7th round pick just to get him, but with the extension, it looks like he was someone they had really liked, and with the Chargers also in the hunt and ready to pay him, maybe Mixon had more suiters than even the Bengals realized. The media sure is treating him as a big get an top back in their reporting of his trade / signing with the Texans.
