Smith has been chronically injured/dinged up, for the duration of his NFL career. Can't really see many teams giving him that "Top tier" free agent contract.
I agree that Andre won't get a top tier contract on the open market, but I could see the Bengals just cutting ties ala Gresh. If we keep one of the two tackles, I'd think it'd be Whit. He's still playing at a high level and as a leader he's miles ahead of Andre.
I get that Andre is much younger, but he also can't stay healthy. I'd let Ogbuehi take over RT until Whit is ready to hang it up. Fisher can continue to be the super sub.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
