It had no bearing on the front office's decision to move forward with cedric. They blew it. But that was the first sign that they were moving forward: they drafted his eventual replacement. Blame Mike, blame Tobin, blame Paul Alexander. the team decided it was moving forward the minute they drafted ogbuehi. They ignored the on-field evidence that he wasn't ready. They did it anyway.

As I recall, they offered more on a one year deal than the rams did, it just wasn't guaranteed. They took for granted that he would sign for that. They knew ogbuehi was not ready. They just hadn't given up on him yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s nothing wrong with drafting the replacement for a 34 year old tackle, no matter how well he’s still playing. That’s a non issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll fault the team for a lot of things, but this would have been pretty unreasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a plan, an awful one as it turned out, but the minute they did, the Whit era was essentially coming to an end, despite the performance on the field by both Whit and Cedric that strongly suggested that they were making a poor choice.

Quote Whit went through a similar episode where he felt disrespected because they drafted Cedric O without talking to him about it in advance. Sounds like your putting the team at fault for something pretty benign. Regardless, there is no evidence to suggest this whole Glenn fiasco is about his position switch. It's all conjecture. It could be something as simple as not wanting to suit up for a lost season while still feeling some lingering effects of the concussion. 20 minutes ago, INbengalfan said: They had a plan, an awful one as it turned out, but the minute they did, the Whit era was essentially coming to an end, despite the performance on the field by both Whit and Cedric that strongly suggested that they were making a poor choice. The Whit era was coming to an end regardless if we drafted his replacement or not. The plan was fine. The execution was terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let him throw a tantrum and get paid, it's just going to lead to more players doing that. If he wants to quit, then he can forgo the money on his contract. What do the Bengals have to lose? It's not like we're FA desitnation #1 as it is, and the same guys who will come here now when we overpay will still come if we overpay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
