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.
Loyalty is a two-way street. The Bengals paid 2022 Mixon top money to play like a bottom-rung RB, so I'd say it's his turn to show some sacrificial loyalty in 2023.
