Joe Mixon apparently isn’t worried about possibly leaving Cincinnati this offseason. Amid speculation regarding his future, the Bengals’ running back has reminded people that he was not traded or released last year despite similar speculation. 

As you can see below, Mixon isn’t taking the recent trade rumors too seriously. 

Pro Football Network recently reported that there is a good chance the Bengals move on from Mixon, who currently carries a $8.85 million cap hit for 2024. Mixon agreed to take a pay cut last July in order to stay in Cincinnati, the team that selected him in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
