Boling is our best O-lineman until Jonah shows he is which should be soon...
Thanks buddy, i will.
Sorry if i was a jerk man.
Whit was 35 and had been having more and more knee issues. He had even dropped weight his last season in Cincinnati to try and relieve that issue a bit. They made him an offer to stay just not the amount that he wanted. He is an aging lineman that whether some want to admit it or not is beating the odds.
"Most elite offensive tackles start to decline at roughly the age of 32 if they haven't already. At that point most of these men have been playing tackle football for 25 or more years." Feb 27, 2017

Whit was moving past mid 30's when he left the Bengals so no it was not stupid.
