The Cincinnati Bengals have been expected to do something about running back Joe Mixon’s $12.6 million cap number which is currently third on the team, according to Over the Cap.
It appears that move will finally be coming, according to Paul Dehner Jr. from The Athletic, who says the team will eventually ask the veteran back to take a paycut or be released.
Here’s what Dehner had to say.
[Mixon’s] next steps involve the conclusion of the aggravated menacing case refiled against him by the Cincinnati Police Department and negotiation of a pay cut the team is expected to ask him to either accept or be let go.
