It was worse than cherry picking.
Making it look like Whit hates Cincy instead of what he really meant is extremely misleading by the OP.
Whit like you said if anything was being very respectful and just didn't want to play us.
Going to an NFC team like the Rams is an easier transition.

Wrong again. Did I say Whit hates the Bengals? ....Nope, nice try though. Wasn't even close to my intent. I'm quite sure Whit loved Cincinnati, He has said as much. I'm sure He loves Mike Brown too. Who wouldn't love a guy who paid you millions of dollars. I'm just saying that for an organization that puts as much stock into "Loyalty" (see Marvin Lewis), They didn't show that to Whit. If the deals were close enough, I believe Whit would have stayed. But the Bengals Low-balled him and was probably asking him to switch to Guard ( as he eluded in the ESPN article, to make room for Ced who is unproven at best.

Sure seemed that was what you were alluding to. I apologize if this was not the case.
It was ridiculous to not bring Whit back no question. We needed to keep him here after Og's showing last year.
To low ball him was assinine. I will never understand this.
It would be different if he shown some fall off, but Whit was playing very good last year.

Losing players like an open artery. This is pure lunacy if we're letting good talent walk just to get picks. Meanwhile we're wasting good years of our core talent. Mike Brown is a god damn fool.
