He went to SF instead. They ought to just fold the Cincy franchise. They are really an embarrassment to the NFL. Not taking a shot at the fans, who honestly have put up with more bullsh!t than any fanbase ever should have to suffer. But that team, the front office, the head coach, and especially the GM/Owner are frankly and embarrassment.

Where rookies do their NFL training.

Where veterans go to retire.

Zimmer will know exactly what to do with him. Old and VERY injury-prone for several seasons, this group is slowly getting younger and a little more promising. I would love to see Cincinnati swing a trade for Taylor Mays since Adam Schefter is reporting the 49ers are shopping him, but I doubt Mike Brown would give up the draft pick(s) to make it happen.

I am pretty sure that Cleveland is his hometown, where his family resides.

I wish things would of worked out with him in Buffalo. He is a great tackler with decent coverage skills. I’ve always liked Whitner, he just hasn’t lived up to a first round top 10 pick.

Good luck in Cincinatti Donte, you’ll be missed in the B-lo!!

Go Bills!!!!

I didnt think he was that good in Buffalo. Not good enough for the 8th overall pick, atleast. He can tackle (most of the time) but he has no pass coverage. He’s had a lot of missed opportunities to make plays here in Buffalo

The Bengals might have a good defense =, but, by mid season when they are losing games because they don’t score the D will give up.

Well again I see an opportunity for the Eagles. Vick and 4th for Whitner, helps solves the Eagles safety issues.

Just searched the site for Whitner related stories and found this comment. No offense, KingJoe, but that is hilarious! Obviously none of us Eagles fans saw what was coming with Vick (especially last March) but in hindsight this is awesome.

Like that time he got tazed by the cops…or his playoff guarantee…his rigged SB ticket contest on twitter…or laughing at the FO and fighting with fans on twitter during the draft…or his standard response to criticism “you dont know the game of football”…..

I’ve been advocating his benching for two years now! He doesn’t make any plays, and how about this little nugget:

In 2009 and 2010 — Against the run:

Donte Whitner made his 125 tackles on running plays an average of 8.1 yards downfield.
George Wilson made his 80 tackles on running plays an average of 3.7 yards downfield.

But I see how he fits in Cincy. After losing OchoCinco, they needed a new TWIT.

Ha! Good one!! On a serious note……….He may do fine with you guys, he really needed a change. He got burnt all the time on the pass…….with Baltimore and Pittsburgh being more of a running team, he may do fine with you guys. I liked him, he was a class act in Buffalo, just wore out his welcome.

I’m suprised, he used to complain about being laughed at by opponents while playing for the Bills, so why did he choose the Bengals? And BTW, this guy is “Twitter Chad” 2.0.

They’ve given Zimmer a few nice new toys with Whitner, Lawson & Howard. And Clements is a solid #2 CB. Add those guys to Peko, Atkins, Dunlap & Maualuga and you might have something.

Still can’t forgive Mike Brown for not Franchise tagging Jonathan Joseph. Horrible mistake.
