The Bengals did it right at OT

That said, it's possible the Rams set up that contract to be easily escapable in a year or two. If that's the case, I would've been for it.

Andrew Whitworth's contract by if he plays:

1 year played = essentially a 1yr/$12.5m deal ($5.83m dead cap space in '18)
2 years played = essentially a 2yr/$23m deal ($1.67m in dead cap space in '19)
3 years played = a 3yr/$33.75m deal

Would you have been okay with signing Whit to a 1yr/$12.5m deal? Or a 2yr/$23m deal? One would hope so after seeing how Whit played and how Ogbuehi played in '16. People too often hear "3yr/$33.75m" and go "I would have never given him 3 years!" when in reality it's easily a 1yr/$12.5m contract.
