When you have $17-18 million cap space and don't sign the leader of your offensive line to a 1-2 year deal...the only reason is cheapness.
While they 'drafted his replacement'...the fact that they tried to sign Whitworth shows they weren't confident in Ced. It wasn't like they said...we're 100% confident in Ced so we'll let Whitworth walk. They wanted Whitworth...he left.
No.
Pat Kirwan stated, from a close and reliable source, that the offer was the same but Whit had already made up his mind he wanted a change of scenery. The way Kirwan said it, I actually believe the source was inside Whit's camp.
