It doesn't matter how long he is under contract...the odds are very good he does not play out that full contract. He's going to be 37 at the end of 2018, and his play is already declining as it is. That's what you know today about Whitworth. Odds are against him playing all 3 years of the contract. That's why the Bengals let him walk.

I disagree with this statement. I don't think the odds are against him playing another 2 years and don't believe this statement can be supported with anything beyond speculation.
It's not uncommon for elite O'linemen with a strong health history to play well into their high 30's and sometimes 40's. After K/P and QB's, O'linemen have the highest number of HOF'ers who played over the age of 40.
If we're speculating, I'd guess that there is at least 75% chance that he finishes his contract with the Rams.
