Andrew Whitworth on Bengals deal

It took the guy we all vilify around here to at least get one more contract out of him.

For years I have hoped that Katie and Troy were the future - better thinkers not stuck in an "old school" paradigm void of critical thinking and a clear perception of the reality.

Other successful teams move on from established players.  They just seem to know when it's time to move on and when their player still has the right stuff.

This was a disturbing incident.

This year has been encouraging.   I hope they know how to build on the foundation of their off season moves.

Good points, but, just to play devil's advocate, there's the flip side. We've seen brown keep players past their prime because of loyalty. I think Katie and co were looking at it through a business lense: he's most likely got a couple good seasons before he starts declining and replacement (they hoped) was already on the roster.of course, it turned out to be the bad decision in hindsight as his shelf life was better and the replacement was garbage.
