Here's the thing with that.
It wasn't like he started declining while a Bengal.
He was still performing at an elite level.
They gambled that he would start declining within a year or two so they didn't wanna offer him to a 3+ year deal.
It's impossible to know for sure, so they likely looked at what age most OL start declining.
Turns out Whitworth ended up being the exception.
