Unless they offered a $5m signing bonus, they didn't offer the exact same 2017 money. If the Rams cut him after 2017, he walks away with $12.5m. That's not the exact same money as offering a guy a 1yr/$9m deal with $0 signing bonus and $0 guaranteed money.

Actually had a conversation with  former Bengals OL who told us Whittworth turned down the Bengals guaranteed 1 year deal that was a little higher than the Rams 2017 offer, but he wanted a 2 year deal and Bengals would not do a 2 year deal due to his age. What is your scource?

2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.

I read something similar too. They offered him a 1 year deal for somewhere around the Rams offer...but wouldn't go to 2 years.

Heard this as well and makes me think they didn't want to pizz off Whit by franchise tagging him either.

This way he had a shot at a multiple year deal. MB and company are loyal to players like Whit and you don't want to stifle
the man if he gets a better deal elsewhere. No point bringing the man back if he is angry.

They might of made the right decision, sure as hell hope so and Og plays decent.
