So your standard for waiving Walton is because he's not a star player right now...but IF AJ Green did something similar you'd look the other way? (Note: Green would NEVER do something like this.)
That's business. Mixon was awhile ago, made amends and had nothing to do with the Bengals until far afterwards. If he was a Bengal at the time, I would cut him. AJ Green has no history, and the act was not ridiculously bad, so yes, he would get a pass. Walton has already had one issue. If he had something like a sexual assault, then yes, I would cut AJ too. Knowing business is business, some teams think otherwise, as Ben still is in the league. AJ had a bad urine test, not cut. Whoever is on the practice squad gets a dirty urine, get cut.
Hate a double standard as much as you want, Robert Kraft can solicit prostitution and would get memes, while if the junior assistant to the assistant head water boy got caught, they'd kick him out. You have a value and a line to not cross and it is best to know that. Walton was an on the bubble guy to begin with; that means he is easily popped. Putting hands on someone? That's a big needle.
