Whitworth remaining a top tackle for as many years as he has was not a good bet then, nor would it be a good bet now. And, if he really wanted to stay in Cincinnati, he could have. When you have that many millions of dollars, how many more do you really need?
In Whits defense, I don’t think it was necessarily about the money, more about the principle of rewarding his loyalty. Also think he saw what was happening and wanted to go to a team that wasn’t about to hit a rebuild period. He wanted to win a Super Bowl and got close!
