And weight was the reason he failed the physical?
That's what has been reported in tweets. The Bengals must have higher standards then us.

His agent told him with the way he's played the last few years he'd be worth his weight in gold when he hit free agency. Deuce took it too literally.
Great, we have lower standards then the team who drafted this guy:

Why not? He had an extra 3 months to sit around on his ass. If he was fat enough to fail a physical I have to imagine he looks like the girl from Precious.
This is all hilarious. Welcome back, fatty.
I'm glad Deuce is back.
Some people have serious weight problems they cannot control long term. However, I would think playing in the NFL would be enough motivation for an athlete to keep it under control during their playing career, plus of course, the money.
Sadly a lot of athletes have given up tons of money and lost their career because they cannot control their weight. I consider food is an addiction for many people. At least if a person has a drug or alcohol problem they can go cold turkey. Such is not the case with food.

Sadly well put...keeping weight off is as much a life struggle as any other addiction as some of us may know. Let's all give him the encouragement he needs and not make fun of his condition....just imagine what he will be facing when his football days are over if he stays out of control.
According to Somers he weighed in at 381.
That is lite in Lutui standards.
His size:
"I have always been one big boy. When I want to, I can eat. I'm trying to cut down, but I love my rice and those carbs."
Surviving an auto accident when he was 6 years old that killed his sister and disabled his father:
"It was a trauma for all of us. I was determined after that to make something of my life. My parents were hurt, but I felt they had brought us to this country for a purpose...As a teenager, I had to take care of the family. I was the one paying the bills. My parents, coming from the Tongan Islands, weren't too familiar with the American system."

Whisenhunt on G Deuce Lutui: "When he does it right and his weight is not an issue, he’s a good player. Hopefully he understands that now."
Didn't Whisenhunt say that last year too? At least we know Lutui isn't just a contract year player.
Regardless, now we have the possibility that 4 of 5 of our oline positions will remain the same as last season. Contrary to what many are saying Kolb will benefit from that continuity.

I don't recall hearing him say that last year but he may have. This year the point was driven home by the Bungles when he lost an 8.75 million dollar contract because of his weight.
(Foxsports Arizona)or possibly compete with Womack, who played both guard and right tackle last season.
Guys that big will sweat off 20 lbs. in a practice. He'll be fine.At 381 lbs. on August 1st, I can't envision him being in shape by September. Probably headed for the PUP list.
