Ross Tucker from SI.com considers the Bengals cutting of Big Willie in a larger context under the title "Bengals Lead League in Mismanagement."
Tucker writes:
If the Bengals didn't feel comfortable paying $3 million to a backup tackle, they could have and should have broached the subject of a pay cut at the beginning of training camp when they named Andrews the starter. Heck, they could have started the discussion with Anderson the second they placed the franchise tender on Andrews in the first place. It was clear he was going to play.
He continues:
But this type of mismanagement has become commonplace in Cincinnati. The next thing we know they will finally set a standard for personal conduct by releasing a player after his fifth arrest only to bring him back after the charges are dropped and the receiving corps is in shambles.
Oh, wait, they already did that.
Anderson gets jettisoned unceremoniously and Chris Henry gets to stay. Yeah, that makes sense.
