Mixon contract restructure finalizing - pally - 07-14-2023
Joe's not stupid...a restructured contract in Cincy is more than he'll get on the street...if he got anything
The #Bengals and RB Joe Mixon are finalizing a restructured contract that will keep him in Cincinnati for the 2023 season, per sources.

Mixon was due $10.1 million this season with a $12.791M cap number. The new deal frees up cash and cap for Cincinnati, and Mixon stays as RB1. pic.twitter.com/gtOTGYn3hQ

Beat me to it... wonder what the final #'s will be
RE: Mixon contract restructure finalizing - TheLeonardLeap - 07-14-2023
If it's ACTUALLY a restructure, I hate it because it means you're committing to a player for next year as well.
If it's him taking a pay cut, I like it but not as much as if they had replaced him during FA or even done this paycut before/during FA so they could have added more talent with the savings.
RE: Mixon contract restructure finalizing - QueenCity - 07-14-2023
Mixon and the Bengals have agreed to a new deal that will pay him a base salary of just under $6 million with incentives that could earn him up to $8 million a league source tells PFT.
RE: Mixon contract restructure finalizing - Au165 - 07-14-2023
The rumor is it’s 6 with 8 possible in incentives. This puts him right in line with his production and I’m really happy to see it.

They are gonna sign Tee and Burrow and don't forget Logan...
RE: Mixon contract restructure finalizing - BengalsLUFC - 07-14-2023
6 rising to 8 is a class deal for us tbh.
If we get 21-22 Mixon to go along with this o-line improving there is genuinely no way to stop us from winning it all this year.
RE: Mixon contract restructure finalizing - WildfireMicro - 07-14-2023
I think this is a good thing honestly. Frees up cap for us
RE: Mixon contract restructure finalizing - Housh - 07-14-2023
Between 6-8? Wow that’d be nice
RE: Mixon contract restructure finalizing - jj22 - 07-14-2023
A little flash of the mythical Burrow effect….
I feel like I’m prior days players would have refused and been cut.
The rb market does suck tho so it’s a smart move. Maybe more moves to come now that camps approached. They know how much they can afford him at. Other deals must be close.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^this
Only positive I could hope comes from it, is that it is a pay cut and a FA is still added to roster with the savings.

I mean it’s not like he’s done. He’s probably got 2-3 solid years in him even if they are struggle years where he’s injured a good amount.
He was pretty shit last year in pass pro and hitting holes but he was still great at falling forward

Evidence in that Joe had a poor season? Well his stats clearly show it. He did. That is a fact. Mixon has a lot riding on this season. In 2021 he had his best season. 2023 will be interesting but the conversation ramped back up based on Paul Dehner’s comments. I have no inside info and is just MHO that Mixon will get a solid guaranteed restructure covering the final 2 years of his contract for around 7.5 million a year.
Wonder if he got it for 2 years.

I think the money saved will go into extensions. They got what they wanted in FA, pretty much.
RE: Mixon contract restructure finalizing - Soonerpeace - 07-14-2023
After the Bengals changed their scheme in Week 5 of last season, Joe Mixon was the most efficient running back in football. He's an asset as a pass catcher, and Burrow trusts him as a route runner.

Mixon remains an important piece for the 2023 offense. https://t.co/BAkcSaY2Gj

Yeah. He turns 27 in a couple weeks. That's the prime of his life and i could certainly see them getting 3 more years out of him with how well he stays in shape. He's been nothing but positive when it comes to being a good teammate and you can't fault his enthusiasm and effort.
He wants to be here and he wants to win. With all the CD talk lately, i remember what it was like when it was the exact opposite.
