Joe Mixon bids farewell to Bengals following smooth trade to Texans
After the Cincinnati Bengals decided to part ways with running back Joe Mixon, sending him to the Houston Texans, Mixon expressed his gratitude to the Bengals organization and their fanbase in a heartfelt message shared on Wednesday. He reflected on his pride in contributing to the Bengals’ transformative journey, from their dismal performance in 2019 to their remarkable Super Bowl run.
In his statement, Mixon emphasized the significant cultural shift within the team and the city during his tenure, highlighting the journey from a struggling 2-14 team to Super Bowl contenders. He expressed deep appreciation for the unwavering support of the dedicated fanbase, acknowledging their role in revitalizing the spirit of the city.
Having been with the Bengals since 2017, Mixon had notable achievements, including surpassing 1,000 rushing yards in four of his seven seasons with the team, notably in the 2023 season. Now, he looks forward to contributing to the Houston Texans, where he’ll be a crucial asset for quarterback CJ Stroud. Mixon’s arrival fills a gap in the Texans’ running back corps left by Devin Singletary’s departure.

In the Bengals’ restructuring efforts, they’ve enlisted Zack Moss as Mixon’s replacement, known for his adept pass-blocking skills, which will fortify the team’s offensive line. With Moss stepping in as the primary running back for the Bengals, he’ll have the opportunity to make a significant impact.
For Mixon, the move to the Texans presents an exciting opportunity to be part of a team on the rise, especially considering Stroud’s impressive rookie season, which positions the Texans as potential contenders in the AFC.
