Judging from Whitworth's desire to stay in Cincy, we probably could've signed him for a lesser deal than what he accepted. The fact that they didn't even try and sent that text to Whit is a slap in the face to someone who was everything we needed him to be and much more.
Makes me sick to my stomach.
The only defense I see is a partial one and that is that Tackles hit a cliff at age 35. Whitworth has been the exception.
That said, on both Whitworth and Zeitler they likely could have extended them BEFORE they hit free agency. And they could have franchise tagged 1 of them.
From what I read, they didn't even try to extend Zeitler. His cost may have been lower had they done it BEFORE DeCastro signed with the Steelers.
The Bengals had it in their mind that they just didn't want to pay a Guard that much...as they didn't want to pay an ageing Whitworth.
