So if no one else was going to give him a chance, the Bengals shouldn't have gotten him until after the draft or the 7th round. Point being is that someone was going to get him. Mixon doesn't owe his football career to the Bengals. He was 5th in the league in rushing with no passing game and a bad O-line. He knows he could be doing better elsewhere.
He doesn't owe them his football career, but he can't go shooting off his mouth like Dillon and flipping off fans is my point. He owes this organization for giving him a chance just like the Kareem Hunt will owe the team that gives him his 2nd chance.
If he isn't grateful towards Cincinnati for drafting him in the 2nd round, then he doesn't quite get it IMO. He MUST stay classy for this very reason. He can't go pulling a Dillon/Palmer.
Also, if any other team had drafted him, I would feel the same about that team.. He should be gracious to whatever team drafted him after his massive mistake.
