The Cincinnati Bengals have reportedly locked up one of their most talented offensive weapons for the foreseeable future. On Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported that the Bengals have agreed on a four-year, $48 million deal with running back Joe Mixon. The former second-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft was set to enter the final year of his rookie deal, but now will be under contract with the Bengals for five more seasons.
Last year, Mixon rushed for 1,137 yards and five touchdowns while averaging 4.1 yards per carry, and also caught 35 passes for 287 yards and three more touchdowns. Mixon has delivered a total of 2,888 yards from scrimmage and 17 touchdowns over the last two seasons, and has been one of the few bright spots during what has been a tough few years for the Bengals. Now that they have their franchise quarterback in Joe Burrow as well as A.J. Green for at least one more year, they are hoping to prove to fans that this franchise is back on the right track under second-year head coach Zac Taylor.
