Big Whit? - QueenCity - 12-25-2022
Sounds like his contract with Amazon ends on Thursday... Perhaps a reunion?
Whit acknowledged a co-worker about the possibility on twitter, which is why I'm bothering to make a thread. Likely a 10% chance.
Storybook ending however potentially :)

Was his contract with LA up when he retired?

No. He is still under contract with the Rams. I think the chance of this happening is so low that it isn’t worth considering in any serious manner.

Cut or trade a 7th round pick? Not far fetched for the Rams to do him a solid.

He can't be traded. The trade deadline is long past.

That's true.... but players have leverage in these situations. He can clearly say he isn't playing for anyone but the Bengals.
Sure a team can still claim him but 1. he doesn't have to play and 2. they ruin good will with agents and future players.

RE: Big Whit? - michaelsean - 12-25-2022
I would say he is in no way ready to play, and Rams own his contract. Roll with what you got.

As cool as it would be to see Big Whit come back
I have to agree. Whit's no spring chicken and has been sitting in a chair for a minute. I'm not sure he could just "turn it back on" ?
RE: Big Whit? - samhain - 12-25-2022
Hard to say if he's even in football shape. A lot of those guys lose a lot of weight for health reasons when they no longer need the bulk.
RE: Big Whit? - Au165 - 12-25-2022
There is literally no way this happens. Beyond the fact he isn’t in playing shape, LA would need to cut him but not just cut him they’d need to rework his contract to league minimum before cutting him. Then all the potential opponents we are behind in the waiver wire would need to not put a claim in. The idea that a playoff adversary wouldn’t claim him and force him right back into retirement is a pipe dream.
RE: Big Whit? - JaggedJimmyJay - 12-25-2022
Pipe dream.
RE: Big Whit? - Soonerpeace - 12-25-2022
With only 2 regular season games left I’d expect they role with Adenji and Prince.
RE: Big Whit? - bfine32 - 12-25-2022
CTB ain't ready. The Rams are out of it. Perhaps Jalen Ramsey will retire tomorrow, unretire on Tuesday, get cut by the Rams on Wednesday, and sign with the Bengals on Thursday
RE: Big Whit? - Dean_Gilberry95 - 12-25-2022
I thought after so many years in the league you don’t have to pass through waivers? Don’t they become free agents?

He belongs to the analysts desk now.

Yes you are correct. Rama could cut Whitt or Ramsey and they would be free agents.
I don't see it happening, but stranger things have happened.
I would love to see Whitt retire officially as a Bengal
