Obviously I have no proof, but I just get the feeling the money they gave Dre was really intended for Whitworth. I also believe this because Whitworth signed with the Rams on March 9 and DK signed with the Bengals two days later.
No doubt. The Bengals tried to save a buck with Whitworth and he rightfully told them to get bent. So to save face, they had to overpay to keep Kirkpatrick. Hobspin kept trying to polish the turd the offseason was by reminding us that a guard like Zeitler isn't worth the money no matter how good he is. Bengals should have locked him up the year before just like Pittsburgh did with Decastro. Those moves tanked this season before it ever began.
