Wow - how quickly we forget.  Whit was mid-thirties and had an injury history.  At the time a LT playing past that age was UNHEARDOF, and the Rams OVERPAID him by every measure and judgement on the market.  At the time, on these very forums, the fans almost universally were positive toward our FO to not sign Whit to that deal and almost universally no one here blamed them for not doing so.  It was so over the top for the, then, market conditions, that the FO would have been blasted for making that deal.

Using hindsight to make your arguments is not compelling or attractive.
