Then Bengals didnt want to sign him to a long term contract because he was 30 so first they only extend him for 2 years. After that contract was up he is now 32 so they only extend him for 1 year. After that contract is up he is now 33 and the Bengals want him to sign another 1 year contract? The Bengals kept jerking Whitworth around because he was 30+ so he signed with L.A. and end up helping them win the Super Bowl instead of us. Its crazy so many people dismiss these guys who are close to 30 years old like they arent of value anymore. Logan's Run, you need to get rid of them when they hit 30

There are exceptions, but how'd that 3rd contract work out for Geno Atkins? You talk of getting a 1st and a 3rd for Tee... The Bengals spent a 1st and a 2nd on Whitworth replacements... They were already here, and they so didn't pan out. We're in our lil championship window, and personally I'm not concerned with draft picks all that much. I'd trade our first this year in a heartbeat for a known stud commodity like the Rams did when they beat us.
