I don't think Mixon will take such an approach, but it could be interesting to see if he does. Ultimately, I think the Bengals embrace loyalty and they'll keep Mixon with the team and let him play out his nice contract even if detrimental to the team's overall success.

They haven't done this for quite a few guys in recent years though.
One example is Bernard got cut in spring 2 years ago.
If a player can save a good chunk of cap and the team doesn't think they are worth the cost and can't find a trade partner, they've seemed more willing to cut compared to previous decades.
