Could it be that Whitworth looked at the overall situation with the direction that the Bengals were heading, and made a conscious decision to move onto a team on the rise?  Besides the fact that playing for a warm weather team is going to help prolong his playing life, maybe the guy just got tired of not competing for a championship?

I seriously doubt the LA Rams are going to be anywhere near competing for a championship in the next few years. It was more about Whit still being pissed we drafted Fisher and Ogbuehi, and the Rams gave him the extra year.
