The Houston Texans agreed to a three-year, $27-million contract extension with newly acquired running back Joe Mixon, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Mixon’s new deal includes $13 million guaranteed, Schefter adds.
Houston landed the former Pro Bowl tailback in a trade with the Cincinnati Bengals earlier this week. Mixon spent the first seven seasons of his pro career with the AFC North franchise. The Oklahoma product sits third on the team’s all-time rushing list with 6,412 yards and second all time with 49 rushing touchdowns.
