MIxon TRADED to Texans

[*pally*]

Plot twist: The #Bengals are now trading Joe Mixon to the #Texans, rather than releasing him, sources say.

So Zack Moss signs in Cincy, Mixon is traded to Houston. From Joe Burrow to CJ Stroud. pic.twitter.com/TG0G3JMGMp

Savvy move by the FO. Impressed (if true)

[BengalsLUFC]

No longer upset about us treating him badly :lol:

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

What did we get back?

[cinci4life]

Wonder what we got for him?

probly not much.   Just enough to make sure the Texans can have him and he not hit the market

[QueenCity]

He's saying he's guessing but the compensation sounds about right.

[phil413]

Wow they got something for him, that's great! Does that impact the cap savings on bonus money?

[Luvnit2]

My only concern is Texans are a good team, but glad we are getting something for him and will immediately get 6 million in extra cap space.

Which is what?

[WeezyBengal]

This is wild and a hell of a move regardless of the pick.

I guess the Texans thought Mixon was going to get more than 8 million per year on the open market and wanted to lock him down?

Do we then avoid the 2 million dead cap hit Mixon would have brought us?

I love it.

this may have lit the fire under the Texans

Joe Mixon and the Los Angeles Chargers are in contract negotiations, per source.

Andre Perrota is assuming it's a 6th rounder.

Pretty sure that the signing bonus part is still the responsibility of the Bengals.

I'd be more concerned if Mixon was an actual above average running back. He's nothing special anymore.

That's better than nothing, thanks for the update.

Still, getting a pick for him AFTER you announce he's going to be released is just absolutely wild. What are the Texans doing? 

[Bengalholic]

Texans only have 3 7th rounders after round 4 this year. Maybe it's for one of those...or a conditional pick next year?
