Details On Joe Mixon's Pay Cut
1 year agoCincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon took a $4.39 million pay cut this year and a $4.67 million pay cut next year. His 2023 base salary is $5.51 million, and he can make an extra $2 million per year in incentives. The pay cuts open up the possibility that Mixon will also stick around for the 2024 season. The 26-year-old was due $10.1 million this year with a $12.791 million salary cap number. There were questions as to whether Mixon would even be playing with the Bengals in 2023, but this now keeps him as the clear starter in an explosive offense, which is obviously good news for his fantasy value. He's not particularly explosive, but the volume should once again be there in an offense that will score plenty of touchdowns. Consider Mixon a high-end RB2 in fantasy drafts.
