If Whit retires after the 2020 season he'll get $12.5M for one year .. and make the following conversation moot.
"... Whitworth gave the Rams a discount. Yes, he’s 38, but by contrast, the Detroit Lions just gave an average of $9 million a year to Halapoulivaati Vaitai, who has been a part-time starter the past four seasons. Whitworth perhaps isn’t an All-Pro caliber tackle now, but on the open market, he clearly could have received more than $10 million on a one-year contract."
