Bengals another Trade 27-year-old running back Houston Texas Sends emotional Message to fans

Joe Mixon Says Goodbye to Cincinnati Following Trade to Houston Texans

The Bengals are sending Joe Mixon to the Texans after the 27-year-old running back spent seven seasons with Cincinnati. Mixon took to Instagram to share his farewell message to both the Bengals and the city of Cincinnati, reflecting on the emotional journey of the past two days.

“Mannnn it’s hard to put into words the emotional rollercoaster the past two days have been. Long days and restless nights. So many emotions about the decision that was made that I don’t know even where to start,” Mixon wrote. “Ive built so many friendships and relationships in Cincinnati over the past 7 years that will have a lifelong impact. All I ever wanted to accomplish for Cincinnati was winning football games and bringing back a championship ring. Helping facilitate and being a witness to the major culture change within the team and the city over my career here is something I’ll never forget. From a team that went 2-14 to competing on the biggest stage, the Super Bowl. Bringing life back to the city and fans in the last couple of years is a feeling like no other. The real fans support never wavered. To my teammates who I will forever call my brothers, I appreciate you guys for the hard work, dedication and love yall brought to game. Always stay true to the game and yourselves. Like we say, “Stay 10 toes and never fold.” To the city of Cincinnati that I’ve called home for the past 7 years and the fans that embraced me like family, I want to thank you from bottom of my heart. The goodbye post got me super overwhelmed & very emotional but I promise you all I greatly appreciate it. You took a chance on a 20 year kid and made me feel loved since day one. It’s hard to put into words what this place and the people mean to me. Thank you for helping me live out my dream. Cincinnati is a place I’ll forever call home. 28 out.”

It is important to mention that Joe Burrow was quick to respond to the post with a brief message: “Love you, bro.”
