Whitworth got a major case of the red A$$ and threw a fit the minute the Bengals started drafting linemen. He evidently was "offended" that they would try to get his replacement in place. Anyone with any common sense knows you can't play this game forever, and he has long surpassed the average length of career for a lineman. That's why he wanted a multi year deal instead of staying here and finishing his career on a year to year contract, even if it was for the same money. Even HE knew playing year to year was risky at his age, and signing him to a long term deal would not have been the smart play, even if he has apparently beaten time for the time being.
