Joe Mixon is the latest NFL player to recruit former Buccaneers DT Gerald McCoy

Count Joe Mixon among those who would like to see his team end up signing former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy.

The Buccaneers released the six-time Pro Bowler Monday after failing to find a trade partner. He’s still a force, but team direction and finances got in the way.

Right away, NFL players started recruiting McCoy on social media. Odell Beckham Jr., for example, wants to see him on the Cleveland Browns.

And based on the above, Mixon wouldn’t mind him on the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Bengals aren’t hurting for help inside after adding Renell Wren in the draft. But while Geno Atkins has 60.5 sacks since 2010 — McCoy has 50.5. So yes, they’d be quite fun together on the same line.

Mixon seems to agree.
