My memory is different, but I may be wrong. I recollect him being upset as he wanted a new contract as he will be a FA next year. He was then upset when they drafted 2 OT's in 2015, yet I never remember he or anyone stating MB said he was gone after 2015. I am also skeptical him ever MB said that as common sense tells me that would be extremely dumb and not motivational to tell a player under contract for another year until the 2015 season is over.
I still see Whitt retiring a Bengal as long as he plays well in 2015. If he does not, then MB and ML should cut him due to performance and age. But as of now, he is coming of a very good 2014 so I highly doubt MB told him was gone. I think you are reading into Whitt's comments of feeling he may be gone due to recent events (when he ranted after the draft).
I'd start with http://www.google.com and a few different articles about it pop up.
Basically, Whit tweeted that MB told him that it was his last year on the team. People freaked out about it. Whit deleted his Twitter account. Got back on and claimed that it was his wife making a joke to teammates.
Long story short, it absolutely happened, but it just depends on which side you really believe. Is it yet another athlete covering up something stupid they brought public? Or is it just a terrible version of a joke from Whit and/or his wife?
