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.

Let's see how this season shakes out for him. I have a feeling he will be nowhere near top 5 this season. And just so you know, I love whit. I just think they made a sound choice letting an aging vet who was chasing money walk.
