If we re-signed whit for way too much (because the contract he got at his age was stupid)and he suffers his inevitable drop off this year or next, what tune are you singing? Because then I'm guessing the "bengals are too loyal to their own crowd" which just so happens to also be the "always complaining crowd" will start popping off at the mouth. And I bet you'd be first in line.
The contract Whit got was very shrewd.

The Rams get a Top 5 LT for less than the transition tag. If his performance falls off the face of the earth the Rams can cut him after next season with only $5.8 million in dead money which could be split over two seasons.
The Bengals were idiots for not doing that deal.
