Whitworth-Bengals lowballed

[Whatever]

Also, there is no way they offer him even a 1 year deal if they felt that Ced and Fisher could do it.

Look...they're starting Hart this year at RT who was terrible last year and waived by the Giants. Sometimes they just do what's cheap.

Supposedly, Giggles and Piano Man reassured Mike on Og and Fisher.  Of course, Piano Man was reportedly slamming his fist on the table for those two in the draft, so they were likely hoping they could turn them around to save face more than giving an honest evaluation.

They knew they weren't paying Zeitler and they would have an open starting spot.  They knew Whit could play G and they also thought Og and Fisher could, too.  I remember the old Piano Man quote about how "If you can play T, you can play G."  Of course, those 2 schmucks couldn't play either.

There was talk about moving Whit to G to extend his career around this time(not that it seems like he needs it), so the thinking was likely playing Whit at G and having him as a fallback at T in case Og or Fisher didn't come around.
