Quote:I'd like to see Whitworth finish his whole career with Cincy. He has a mean/nasty streak, and has been one of the best Linemen in football the past few seasons.


It may not happen though. Cincy has been having to make tough decisions regarding salaries and keeping players. They drafted two young tackles last year, and had to let Andre Smith go in FA also. We'll see if Whitworth sticks around with them.

 

 jagherd,  what do you think the chances are for Andrew Whitworth to move to one of the Guard positions in 2017?    Though Whitworth has aged very well comparatively speaking,   the combination of the youth at Tackle that you mentioned, age likely to catch up with Whitworth in the next 1 to 4 seasons,  and he seems to have the body type to perform well at Guard all come to mind as reasons it could make sense to keep him around.   Especially,  when also factoring in his excellent leadership skills.
