"It really depends on how they structure things," Whitworth said. "There's ways to structure my contract to protect teams. That's what I plan to do. I plan to give every team an opportunity to structure it however it makes them feel, whatever makes them feel good about signing me. ... I'm open to anything and everything. That's what I would say. I want to play football."
To me it's kind of absurd that this is even an issue. We need Whit for two more years, and $20 million to keep Andy from getting killed is not too much.
For those who say give Ogbuehi time etc, he's an unknown commodity at the NFL level LT. He came in his first year injured, and finished his second year injured. He's no NFL level RT. We have no heir apparent to Whit.
Pay the man, and move on (quickly) to the next issue.
Some say you can place your ear next to his, and hear the ocean ....
