Joe Mixon Thread: 4 Year extension in Cincy

[Orenthal Shames]

Au revoir Joe Mixon.

Pro Football Focus' Mike Renner reports Joe Mixon is wanted on "aggravated menacing" charges in Cincinnati.

Local sports reporter Chris Renkel has confirmed Renner's report. Per Renkel, Mixon is accused of "pointing a gun at a woman in downtown Cincinnati." He allegedly said "you should be popped in the face" and "I should shoot you now." This would be an extremely serious situation for any player, but it is especially disturbing in Mixon's case after he was caught on camera punching a woman in college. This is a developing story that will be updated as it goes.

Kareem Hunt got cut and didn't play for half a year for kicking a woman.

This dude is toast.

He was getting cut even before this broke. Bengals save 10M by doing so. This just cements it.

Bijan mustard goes well with toast.

For sure.

This might mean he's a legitimately dead asset, though.

Perhaps he catches on later in the piece, like Hunt did. But I think his days of being the lead back likely just vanished - especially ahead of a particularly wild FA class + very deep RB rookie class.

Ya, his career very well could be over. Very sad; anyway...

[dondickenson]

Yikes. If he were to miss most or all of this season his dynasty value is completely toast. 2016 and 2017 studs are finally starting to drop like flies.

The stupidity of some players is just mind boggling. Time will tell what the story is but it does look bad for him.

This would demonstrate a pattern after his knockout punch in college. Tough timing after a mediocre season.

He’s old. He could get Ray Rice treatment depending on how this goes.

His agent said the charge will be dropped. Just like Mixon will be

I wonder how much that cost

It’ll be forgotten next week

Sounds like there's a decent chance this turns into a "he said/she said" situation. But I do think there's a chance the NFL looks at Mixon and says "you're not worth the headache"

So, case was dismissed…. so they could investigate it further. The alleged victim still wants to press charges.

It sounds over.

There will still be a market for Mixon somewhere.
The reality is he can play.
