I did the chart/list in JN about a year ago; Whitworth is the ONLY *starting* OT (not even LT) to have played beyond 37, in the past 17 years. There is only one person close to him and that's Jason Peters, who started a rapid decline last year and has fallen of a cliff completely, this year (and get this; he's a year younger than Whitworth too).

On paper, the team made the 100% correct decision. In hindsight and 4 years later, it has proven to be 100% the wrong decision.

And Nicomo is right; losing Walsh was the single-worst thing this franchise ever did, with Cook ending his career being the worst thing to happen to this franchise period, self-inflicted or not.

Totally agree, also the idea the we knew after one season of playing time that Ogbuehi was not going to pan out, also remember we drafted Fisher in 2nd round.. they were the pieces of youth to move on , we did offer Whitworth a year contract hindsight maybe offer him a 2 yr to give more time to see on Ogbuehi and Fisher
