NFL news, live updates: Joe Mixon reportedly released by Texans; Geno Smith to be released by Raiders; Maxx Crosby trade rumors stay hot ahead of free agency
NFL free agency isn’t here quite yet — but the NFL news cycle never sleeps.
Coming out of the 2026 NFL combine, now with less than a week to go before the start of the legal tampering period (set for Monday, March 9 at 12 p.m. ET), the news cycle is heating up.
On Friday, it was reported that the Houston Texans have released veteran running back Joe Mixon at his request. Mixon missed the entire 2025 season with a foot injury. The move will save Houston a reported $8 million against the salary cap.
It was also reported Friday that the Las Vegas Raiders, barring a trade, will release quarterback Geno Smith after one season. Smith's departure will free up $8 million in salary cap space, while the Raiders will assume $18.5 million in dead money.
Texans officially release RB Joe Mixon
Joe Mixon’s future with the Texans was never in doubt, but his future in the NFL remains in question.
The team made it official on Friday, releasing the running back a day after he asked for the move.
The Texans traded for their RB1 this week, a move that will become official next week, when they worked out a deal with the Lions for David Montgomery.
Mixon, meanwhile, becomes a free agent. The question is: Will he play again?
Mixon did not play last season, because of an off-field foot injury that remains a mystery. Texans General Manager Nick Caserio revealed at the Scouting Combine that Mixon underwent surgery for his injury this offseason but would not elaborate.
