Carlos doesn't see 'the plan'

The Bengals plan was to get rid of Whitworth's $10+ million a year salary and Smith's $5.3 million a year salary in 2016 with 2 Tackles that made much less.

Whitworth complained to the Press that they drafted his replacement...so they extended him 1 year to let the Tackles get ready.

They just never developed. (The Bengals NEVER intended to keep Whitworth past that extension.) Ceds lack of development kind of forced their hand though in the court of public opinion.

True. However, if Ced were at least passable, they could be using their cap money to bring in other players to improve the team. Instead, we're still bargain shopping so we can hopefully get the max 4 comp picks.

Letting Whit leave hurt because he meant more than just a solid LT. With his age, I can understand letting him walk. I even understand letting Zeitler go because he certainly is not worth the money he got paid.

My issue is with the approach and the unused cap. Why not bring in players that are actually in their prime and could potentially help win now instead of bringing in former players and cut players so you can protect comp picks? The logic is seriously flawed.
