I can somewhat understand the Bengals' logic when negotiating with Whitworth because they probably only had another year, maybe two before he would decline/retire given his age. However, he wasn't showing any signs of decline yet and it's proven to be a mistake by the Bengals to gamble on his decline/retirement.
Tackles generally don't play well after age 35. He's a total freak of nature.
