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

I predicted this after the season ended. It was simple, the running back market has tanked so Bengals gave Joe a choice, either take less pay and stay a bengal or we cut ties. It is nice to see the Bengals complete a deal with Je because in the past Mike Brown was reluctant to not honor full contracts.

Smart business decision and Joe seems to be happy as well to stay on a potential Super Bowl team.
