I thought letting Whit go was one of the biggest blunders this organization has ever made up to this point. Whit can still offer us some decent play at the position, and not to mention he can help develop some of the younger guys. I'm even all for hiring him onto our coaching staff when he hangs up his cleats.
Yes, would love to have Whit back.

Getting me a bit hyped here Racer, damn!

The difference between the Bengals and other teams is when you whiff on a draft pick (Price?), they ride that mule in to the ground and lose big-time. You simply can't have holes like that in your line. Other teams would dump and go after a FA. Admit your mistake and move on.
The Bengals have a MASSIVE opportunity to ride this wave of excitement created by Joe Burrow by signing Whit to play LG and Joe Thuney to play RG. Draft a RT (that dude Mehkhi Becton looks like a PERFECT fit at RT, in Rd 2) and your line could go from dud to stud overnight.
They could EASILY afford this by trading/getting out of the contracts of Dalton, Dre K, and Gio. If someone wants to offer a first round pick plus a sweeter for AJ Green, I would take that as well. The rookie wage scale makes those FA signings possible.
At least they benched Price when he was playing terrible under Turner, doubt PA would of done that, he would of rid that mule.
Whit, Thuney and Becton? Sounds awesome, this would help Burrow more than anything. That interior could make some nice
pockets for Burrow to step into. With Jonah coming back and Becton you have 2 young talented OT's that could grow into special
players especially playing next to Big Whit and Thuney.
