CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals coach Zac Taylor remained supportive of running back Joe Mixon standing on the roster amid speculation about his future.
"His future is here with the team," Taylor said in his post-draft news conference on Saturday. "I like Joe Mixon."
Earlier in the offseason, Bengals executives indicated Mixon's status could be uncertain as the team looks to build its roster. Entering his seventh year, Mixon represents a $12.8 million hit against the salary cap and is coming off a down season following a Pro Bowl appearance in 2021.
Cincinnati bolstered its backfield on Day 3 of this year's draft.
