The Bengals absolutely wanted Whitworth and thought he was coming back.
I think they knew Z was going to get offered a huge deal and knew he was leaving. The question becomes if they could have extended him sooner or tagged him and tried to work out a trade or even let him play a year on the tag while we developed another Guard.
