We did off Whit a 1 year contract at that time .. he declined...
Realize that hindsight is always 20-20. As I mentioned to Fred, people are paid to get these calls right. Two very bad judgments were made: (1) Og was ready; (2) Whit was through. How much more wrong could Bengals have gotten it?
BTW, all the credit in the world to Whit. A total class act who deserves everything he gets.
