The Cincinnati Bengals and running back Joe Mixon have agreed to a contract restructure days away from the start of training camp.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Mixon, who had a $9.4 million non-guaranteed base salary, agreed to a contract restructure on Friday night.
“Joe’s goal is to win a Super Bowl and play his career in Cincinnati and this is the best way to accomplish those goals,” said Mixon’s agent agent Peter Schaffer.
Mixon, 26, has two years left on his current deal with the Bengals. The former second-round pick signed a four-year extension worth $48 million with Cincinnati in September of 2020.
