Rams LT Andrew Whitworth announced that he’s retiring from the NFL on Tuesday.
Whitworth, 40, is a former second-round pick of the Bengals back in 2006. He spent 11 years in Cincinnati before signing a three-year, $33.75 million contract that included $15 million guaranteed with the Rams in 2017.
Whitworth made a base salary of $10.25 million for the 2019 season. The Rams brought him back on a three-year extension in 2020.
Whitworth has already announced that he expects this season to be his last and took a $3 million pay cut to retain a roster spot with the Rams last year.
In 2021, Whitworth appeared in and started in 15 games for the Rams at left tackle.
