However, after seeing how Ogbuehi floundered last season, they were likely hoping, if not counting on Whitworth to come back on a team friendly deal. From how I see it, they gambled and lost. Now, they are stuck in a position that in order to get someone better, it's going to cost them. And we all know how they feel about making "costly" deals.
That's basically what I meant. They thought Whitworth would come so we didn't have to start Ced and didn't look at external free agent options to give Ced more time.
