Now that I've looked at the deal, to me it makes the front office look worse than I initially thought.

The Rams made Whitworth the 10th highest paid LT in the league based upon average salary/year.
Whit's cap hit is $9.17 mil this year.
That contract doesn't seem crazy to me considering the state of the Bengals' oline.
Jesus Christ! Looking at the contract, if the Rams want to cut Whit next season the dead money is only $3.33 million which they would be able to spread over two years if they designate him a June 1st cut.
$9.17 + $3.33 = $12.5 million
They basically signed him to a one year deal for less than the transition tag if they want to cut him next year. Now, I'm ***** pissed!
