Texans RB Joe Mixon Rips Into Jon Runyan For Azeez Al

Mixon’s Accusations

Mixon, who has been with the Texans since 2017, said that he was “blindsided” by the trade of Al-Shaair, who had been a key part of the Texans’ offense in recent seasons. Mixon claimed that Runyan had not consulted with any of the players before making the trade, and that he had been dismissive of their concerns.

“It’s clear that Jon Runyan doesn’t care about the players,” Mixon said. “He has no respect for us. He just cares about his own ego.“

Mixon went on to accuse Runyan of “tearing down” the Texans’ team and of creating a “toxic” atmosphere in the locker room. He said that several other players shared his concerns, but that they were afraid to speak out.

Runyan’s Response

Runyan has not yet responded directly to Mixon’s accusations, but he issued a statement saying that he was “deeply disappointed” by the running back’s comments. Runyan said that he stood by his decision to trade Al-Shaair, and that he believed it was in the best interests of the team.

“I understand that Joe Mixon is upset about the trade, but I have to make decisions that I believe are in the best interests of the Houston Texans,” Runyan said. “I’m confident that this trade will make our team stronger in the long run.“

Texans’ Future

The trade of Al-Shaair has raised questions about the future of the Texans. The team has struggled in recent seasons, and it is unclear whether Runyan can lead the team to success. Mixon’s accusations have only added to the uncertainty surrounding the Texans’ future.

It remains to be seen whether Mixon’s criticism of Runyan will have any impact on the general manager’s future with the Texans. However, the running back’s comments have certainly put Runyan on notice. The Texans need to improve their performance in the coming season, or Runyan could be facing a tough decision about his own future with the team.
