Whitworth interview....

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.

Yeah...I agree with that all. I just think they could have just franchise tagged him.

I thought the Bengals offered him 2 years?

It is curious that several other teams offered him better contracts than the Bengals though.

As for the price, we had cap space. We could have did it.

That said, I doubt we would have been a 10-11 game winning team with Whit. We were bad at several other positions on the line, but it would have helped us.
