The 26-year-old had initially signed a four-year contract worth $48 million. He was entering the third year of that deal. Under the previous terms, he was set to earn a base salary of $9.4 million, which was not guaranteed, resulting in a cap hit of around $12.8 million. However, the specific details of the restructured contract have not been disclosed. The restructured contract not only gives the Bengals financial flexibility but also confirms Mixon as the team’s RB1.
