After Being Left Out of Texans’ Plans, 2x Pro Bowl Star Expresses Desire to Join Chiefs – Ready to Sign Lifetime Deal to Show Loyalty to the Team

Houston, Texas

In a surprising turn of events, Joe Mixon, the two-time Pro Bowl running back for the Houston Texans, has publicly expressed his desire to join the Kansas City Chiefs after learning that he no longer fits into the Texans' future plans. After a series of offseason moves, the Texans have decided to part ways with the veteran running back, and Mixon, known for his playmaking ability, is now looking for a fresh start.

Joe Mixon’s Notable Achievements:

• 2x Pro Bowl (2024, 2025)

Mixon, who joined the Texans in 2024, had a significant impact over the past two seasons. However, with the change in strategy under head coach Mike McCarthy, Mixon was informed that he no longer fits into the team's long-term plans. In light of this, Mixon, who had a successful two years in Houston, is now focused on joining a team with championship aspirations — and the Kansas City Chiefs is the destination he has his eyes on.

“I’ve always admired the winning culture of the Chiefs and how they operate on both sides of the ball,” Mixon said in a statement following his departure from the Texans. “It’s an organization built for success, and I want to be part of that. If the opportunity arises, I’m ready to sign a lifetime deal and give everything I have to Kansas City, as long as they want me there.”

Mixon’s public statement reflects not only his desire to continue his career at a high level but also his commitment to a team he believes is built for future greatness. With Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco possibly leaving in free agency, Mixon sees this as the perfect opportunity to join a team with championship aspirations.

“I’m not just looking for a team; I’m looking for a place where I can contribute to a legacy,” Mixon added. “I’ve always respected how Kansas City plays — their commitment to winning, the organization, and the fans. This is where I can leave my mark and help the team win more championships.”

The Chiefs, who have consistently been one of the top teams in the NFL, are expected to be active in the running back market this offseason. While they may look to draft a long-term solution, Mixon’s interest could provide them with a veteran option at a cost-effective price, giving them a reliable presence in the backfield.

Mixon’s willingness to commit long-term to Kansas City shows his determination to play for a team that values his talent and gives him a shot at competing for another Super Bowl ring. The Texans’ loss could very well be the Chiefs’ gain, as Mixon looks to revive his career in a new home.
