He's the first player the Bengals have extended since the lockout ended.
Bengals coach Marvin Lewis moved Whitworth to left tackle for the start of the team's voluntary offseason workouts Tuesday. Andre Smith, the team's top draft pick, will line up at right tackle when he reaches a contract agreement. Smith has never played right tackle.|||||||
