Whit was coming off of an All Pro year and AJ has been hurt for the last 1 1/2 seasons. I get the age difference but the position is different too and you lose speed faster than strength. Whit also could have moved to guard if he regressed at tackle. Whit had as great, if not a better Bengal Career than AJ did. It’s just not as flashy of a position.
For example why did we draft Whit?? to replace Willie.. and Whit worked out.. if Cedric worked out, we would not be having this discussion...
As for Joseph, i would have hoped to keep him but I believe Texas outbid us for him but i could be wrong and we had 3 1st round corners.. Adam Jones on the cheap and Hall was a year behind so we had his contract coming up..
We can;t sign everyone and hindsight is easy to forget about the situations at the time...
