BREAKING: 2x Pro Bowl Superstar – who Once Compared to Legend "Terrell Davis" Expresses Desire to Join Tampa Bay Buccaneers After Drama with Texans – Ready to Commit Long-Term to Help Buccaneers Build Championship Legacy

Tampa Bay, Florida – In a surprising twist, Joe Mixon, the two-time Pro Bowl running back for the Houston Texans, has openly expressed his desire to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after being informed that he no longer fits into the Texans' future plans. Following a series of offseason moves, the Texans have decided to part ways with the veteran running back, and Mixon is now looking for a fresh start with a team that has strong championship aspirations.

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, after a coaching change under Mike McCarthy, Mixon was informed that his style of play no longer aligned with the team’s long-term plans. Now, Mixon is focused on finding a team with championship aspirations, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have caught his attention as a prime destination.

“I’ve always admired the commitment the Buccaneers have to their offense and the winning culture they’ve built,” Mixon said in a statement following his departure from the Texans. “They’re a team that’s ready to compete for championships, and I want to be part of that. If the opportunity arises, I’m ready to sign a long-term deal and give everything I have to Tampa Bay. I believe this is the place where I can leave my mark and help lead the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl.”

Mixon’s public statement reflects his commitment not just to playing at a high level, but also to a team that’s primed for success in the future. With an experienced quarterback like Tom Brady still leading the charge, the Buccaneers provide Mixon the perfect opportunity to contribute to an offense that is already potent.

“I’m not just looking for a team; I’m looking for a place where I can be part of something special,” Mixon continued. “The Buccaneers have the leadership, the talent, and the drive to win it all, and I want to help be part of that legacy.”

The Buccaneers, who have been aggressive in adding pieces to their roster in recent seasons, are expected to be active in the running back market this offseason. Mixon’s experience and playmaking ability could be exactly what Tampa Bay needs to take their offense to the next level as they push for another Super Bowl appearance.

Mixon’s willingness to commit long-term to Tampa Bay shows his determination to play for a team that values his skills and offers him a chance at another championship. The Texans’ loss could very well be the Buccaneers’ gain, as Mixon looks to revitalize his career and help Tampa Bay secure its next championship title.
