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.

I would say he is in no way ready to play, and Rams own his contract. Roll with what you got.
You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American

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" ?

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.

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.

With only 2 regular season games left I’d expect they role with Adenji and Prince.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

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

I thought after so many years in the league you don’t have to pass through waivers? Don’t they become free agents?

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
Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!
