As for Whit wanting to stay, I don't think there's any real doubt that he did. He's stated it many times in different interviews that his goal was to retire a Bengal, and if Melissa's account is accurate...he's was wanting to stay right up to the very end.

Whit wanted to stay, the fo knew that, so they lowballed him and used og as leverage. The fo thought they could sign him for one year deals on the cheap till he retired, or until they replaced him with og. 

And no, the fo didn't care about him. Granted, I think they care more about the players than most teams, but  not that much.
