We could have kept Whit

[SunsetBengal]

Sure they could have kept Whitworth, but then we likely would have also had to keep Peko and Maualuga around, and not signed Lafell, Andre Smith, and Kevin Minter. Sure, they could have appeased all of the morally superiors around here and cut Adam Jones, but Jones is a tremendous value for his price. Football and football finance wise, cutting Jones would have been stupid.

They can still draft OL, in case Ogbuehi continues to not impress. Signing Whit to a large deal, at this point in his career, would have handcuffed the team financially when it comes time for other re-signings.
