That is jumping to conclusions.

Whit was a 35 year old OT nearing the end of his career. The bengals offered him a 1 year 10m deal.

The rams gave him a 3 year deal @ 12m per. You can’t fault the guy, at this point in his career going for one last payday.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported the deal is for three years, worth $36 million with $15 million guaranteed, including $2.5 million guaranteed in Year 2. The deal pays more than $13 million in the first season and $24.5 million over the first two years.
