Duke Nukem Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 According to some Bills boards (who think he's gone to Cincy) and a tweet from Joe Reedy the Bengals are negotiating with S Donte Whitner. More links available on Bengals.com Jungle Noise FA section. If he signs, AND passes a physical, good news or bad news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDawgBengal Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Would be a great move. Hopefully they stick with it and sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschooler Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I asked Joe Reedy if the Bengals were close to signing Whitner.

happyrid Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Wow, the reviews on Donte from the Bills board are less than flattering. They seem to think he is absolutely awful: http://boards.buffalobills.com/showthread.php?t=358671 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FulcherVulcher33 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Would be a upgrade and a good pickup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jza10304 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Somewhere between Whitner being awful (Bills boards) and him being an upgrade, the truth lies. Sadly, they may both be true. I think he's solid and would welcome the addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be honest, fans over value and under value their own players a lot, when most the time the player is somewhere in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we'd be saying that if someone else grabbed Brandon Johnson or any other number of guys. We might be saying that if someone grabbed Nate Livings and I definitely remember us saying that when Eric Ghiachuc left. I doubt we'd be singing a different tune if a guy like that re-signed here. I think its at least a concern that multiple people in that thread said he was the worst player on the team. All that being said, I loved the guy at OSU and I've been surprised he's struggled so much in the pros. I hope we bring him in and let him compete. I just think some here remember how high he is drafted and think he's a different caliber of player than he really is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texbengal Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I'm not real high on the guy... I thought he'd be good as a pro, but he hasn't done much. In 5 years, 5 INTs, 1.5 sacks and 3 FFs, despite 66 starts. I do agree that Coyle and Zim are excellent teachers, so maybe they can rectify that. But hell, Ndukwe, a part time guy with 31 starts in 4 years, has made more big plays than him. Just not that excited about the prospect, although his youth is in his favor, I guess.
