Joe Mixon Takes Pay Cut, Stays with Cincinnati Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals have restructured Joe Mixon's contract to keep him for the upcoming season. Mixon had a non-guaranteed base salary of $9.4 million and represented a $12.8 million hit against the salary cap. Despite a drop in production last season, Mixon's future with the team seemed more solid after the Bengals didn't select a running back in the draft. Mixon is currently facing a misdemeanor aggravated menacing charge, set for trial during Cincinnati's training camp.
