And even if Marvin was down on Ross doesn't mean he didn't listen to his coaching staff and go along with them.

Whitworth did not say that?

He said he preferred to remain with the Bengals before FA opened.
The Bengals offered him a:
1 year/$10 mil with incentives deal.

Rams offered a:
3 year/$11 mil per year deal.
Signing Bonus of $5 mil, $15 mil guaranteed
So first year of contract he gets $20 Mil + Salary.

Which is the better deal for a guy his age? Heck it's not even about age when looking at the difference between the 2 offers, the salary per year might have averaged out the same, but overall money in pocket sure doesn't. I don't think there's anyone out there that wouldn't take the Rams offer.

Once they couldn't meet on contract negotiations, then he started talking about a fresh start and going somewhere where he could feel wanted.
