Whitworth interview....

(03-02-2019, 06:09 PM)Bengalholic Wrote: The only thing I would disagree with is that matching the Rams deal wouldn't have been much a risk at all for the Bengals. It was basically a one year deal, with an option for 2 more. If Whit showed signs of falling after the 1st year, they could have simply walked away from the deal being out a total of 15m. Given what we had seen from OG and Fisher to that point, that didn't seem like a huge gamble to take for at least one more year of Whit.

I think the Bengals were in a tough spot...having drafted 2 tackles, hoping one would be Whit's eventual successor, and the fact that Whit was an aging LT with no guarantees that his performance wouldn't take a nose dive. IMO, the best move would've have been to do a deal similar to the Rams, where you get at least one more year of Whit - hoping that he still plays fairly well - while giving yourself more time to evaluate and get a better feel about what you have in Og and/or Fisher.

I'm definitely no cap expert, but spotrac says there would be 5.1 million in dead cap space if Whit were cut now, and it would've been $17.3 million in dead cap if he were cut last year.

Tbh, if Whit wanted to stay THAT badly, maybe the franchise tag would've been the best route?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
