HOUSTON – The Texans, in need of a proven running back, are acquiring veteran Joe Mixon in a trade from the Cincinnati Bengals, per a league source.

Mixon was informed that he would be released when the Bengals signed running back Zack Moss to a two-year, $8 million contract. Instead, he’s joining the Texans via a trade.

Mixon had four 1,000-yard seasons in seven years in Cincinnati.

He rushed for 1,034 yards and nine touchdowns last season. He made the Pro Bowl in 2021 when the Bengals reached the Super Bowl.

The Texans bid three-years and $33 million on Saquon Barkley, but he signed for significantly more money with the Philadelphia Eagles.

They lost starting running back Devin “Motor” Singletary in free agency to the New York Giants, Barkley’s former team, as they made him an offer averaging $4 million.
