Joe Mixon on why he restructured his contract with Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals renegotiated Joe Mixon’s contract so he would come back to play for less money.
Mixon spoke with Marshall Kramsky of WCPO to talk about his motivations for taking less money. Mixon didn’t want to get into details of the contract much or his reasoning why, but he did talk some about his motivation to do so.
“It’s definitely a blessing to still be here and be in this building,” Mixon said referring to Paycor Stadium, the Bengals home field. “The main goal is the main goal and that’s a Super Bowl.”
Kramsky asked what Mixon thought about the devaluation of the running back position, but Mixon said he wasn’t ready to talk about that.
Regardless of how he feels about the way running back pay is trending across the league, Mixon still seems happy to be in Cincinnati and motivated to win a Super Bowl.
