I hope he goes to be honest. He deserves a real chance at a SB.
We certainly won't win a bidding war. Never do.

Denver doesn't have one with their current QB issues. If they get Romo like has been a rumor I could see it.
12 months ago we lost Andre Smith, Jones, Sanu, Hall, Nelson. ....If we now lose Whitworth, Kirkpatrick, Zeitler, LaFell, Peko, Burkhead and others.....Just plan on at least 12 losses in 2017.....because you can not lose all these players in 12 months time and not expect to go from play-offs to outhouse of last place. ....Our season begins in March on who Bengals resign. March resigning will tell if Bengals owner wants to win or be in last place.
The Bengals should just franchise at this point.

Especially not against elway. He's not afraid to throw out the big $$$ for FA's. What's the franchise tag for an OT this year? Probably better just tag whit. Won't blame him at all if he leaves, he'll get a better deal on the open market. I agree that Denver isn't a SB contender unless they get a better QB though so maybe he'd choose us if the money is close

Getting Whit is probably a prelude to going for Romo.
I doubt Romo will play for any team that has OL issues after the injuries he's had. So they probably go for Whit, and then say "Come here Romo, you'll be nice and safe while throwing to Thomas and Sanders."

Certainly the Bengals need to franchise tag either Whitworth, Zeitler or Kirkpatrick. Not tagging anybody would really be stupid.

If I'm Whit I am not going unless Romo is already there. No way you want to be on that offense without a real QB.

Denver isn't a place to go to win a SB at this moment. They have a serious issue at QB right now.
Oakland, New England, Green Bay those would be the top 3 places I'd be looking to go.

Oakland has a lot of money tied up in the line and can't afford another high end piece, don't really need it either. NE doesn't pay high end money for lineman so if you want to go there you are playing for pennies on the dollar. GB usually doesn't pass out big money in outside FA's, but maybe with Rodgers getting up in age a bit they may invest in keeping him upright.

Cannot believe we are even letting this be spoken of. 
I mean we really don't know, it may not be an issue. We are all here freaking out but there may be a plan in place that will come together before FA opens. Deadlines spur actions, so I am sure some things will pick up in a week or two.

Losing Peko is addition by subtraction.

New England doesn't pay top $$ nor does GB, that is true but I don't see Whit leaving because of money.
Honestly, I don't see him leaving at all unless the FO totally screws up this offseason. However, if he does leave, it isn't going to be for money, it will be for a ring. I'm pretty sure that New England and Green Bay would take him on if the contract wasn't too expensive.
