After the Bengals dealt Mixon to the Texans, Reader inked a contract with the Lions.
Cincinnati — This week, Cincinnati bid farewell to a couple luminaries as they dealt Joe Mixon to the Texans and failed to reach an agreement with DJ Reader before he signed with Detroit.
In addition to the trade, Mixon received an extension with a guaranteed $13 million as he fully committed to Cincinnati.
In reference to the deal, Mixon stated, “It was definitely shocking.” “I’m still experiencing strong emotions about it, but it took some time, and I can always feel at home there. It just makes me really happy. I really adore everything about the way their followers were, and, you know, the way they welcomed me back. We restored Cincinnati’s lights and brought it back to life. I’m going to bring the exact item in here.”
One of the top five running backs in team history, Mixon has had a significant impact on the supporters since 2017. The reader also made a significant impact in a shorter amount of time.
“Events occur. Relationships don’t always work out, and you have to go on. During his opening news conference, Reader stated, “I’m really, really excited about this better opportunity.
He continued talking about his arrival in the Motor City.
“You always think that things are going to work out for you, in the best way where you’re at,” the reader stated. Luckily, though, I firmly believe in the existence of God’s plans for me, so wherever he wants me to be, that’s where I should be. You know, I think this is the right spot. I’m enthusiastic about what they’re doing. The energy in the place was incredible from the moment I arrived today. Seeing some familiar faces made me very pleased. And that was a very satisfying feeling. I’m right where I should be as a man.”
Now, Cincinnati looks to a fresh generation of rushers and run-stoppers to make up lost ground.
