Texans Acquire Joe Mixon in Trade with Bengals

The Houston Texans strengthen their backfield by trading for former Pro Bowler Joe Mixon, while the Bengals sign Zack Moss as a potential replacement.

The Houston Texans have acquired running back Joe Mixon from the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for an undisclosed draft pick.
Mixon, a former Pro Bowler, joins the Texans after seven seasons with the Bengals, where he accumulated over 6,400 rushing yards and 49 touchdowns.
The trade comes after the Bengals signed running back Zack Moss, signaling a shift in their backfield strategy.
Mixon's addition to the Texans is seen as a significant upgrade to their running game, complementing rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud's offensive capabilities.
The Bengals' decision to trade Mixon instead of releasing him allows them to save on salary cap space while also potentially receiving draft capital in return.
