Bengals' curious decision on Andrew Whitworth biggest free-agent surprise in AFC North

Which free-agent move in the division was most surprising? ESPN's AFC North reporters make their picks:

Jeremy Fowler, Steelers reporter: Linebacker Lawrence Timmons' leaving the Steelers was not expected. He was the first draft pick of the Mike Tomlin era in 2007, he was productive last season, and he wasn’t looking for a crazy high payout after playing out all five seasons of his previous $47.75 million extension. But when the Miami Dolphins offered $12 million over two years, the Steelers decided that was too steep for an inside linebacker turning 31 in May.
