If this ends up happening I'm glad the Bengals didn't resign him. Don't get me wrong, I love Whit and think he's the 2nd best Bengals Olineman of all time, but a three year contract for a 35 year old at that price is just too much of a coin-toss. They drafted Og-booty and Fisher with a look to the future, and now its time for those two to sink or swim. They'll no doubt sign a vet as insurance. I am like the rest of you in that I'm not comfortable going into next season with Og-booty as our LT, but it had to happen at some point, why not now? Worst-case scenario, he is just as bad at LT as he is at RT (hopefully he's benched MUCH sooner if this happens, I DO want Andy to see his kids grow up). Best-case...he becomes what he was drafted for, a first-round talent that anchors the left side for many years.
Also, for a man so entrenched in the Cincinnati community, its VERY surprising to me he'd sign with a team thousands of miles away. A team who's FO is worse than the Brown family, IMO.
