I have to think it's because TJ Johnson was entering FA whereas Westerman still has 3 more years left. The Bengals likely wanted to see if Johnson was worth a damn.

Btw, it should be pointed out that Westerman was considered one of the best (if not the best) pass blocking guards in the draft last year. His run blocking, however, supposedly needs work.

I would have given Westerman a shot over TJ Johnson, but I also have no faith TJ Johnson could ever emerge as a decent starter. Serviceable backup at best.
