Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon agreed to a three-year, $27 million extension with the team, Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz first reported on Thursday.
The deal includes $13 million guaranteed, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported. Mixon is poised to earn $10 million in his first year there.
Mixon was traded to the Texans from the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday after it was first reported that the Bengals were going to release the running back. Mixon spent the past seven years in Cincinnati.
