The game's best guard, Baltimore's Marshal Yanda signed a 4-year, $37.4 million this summer with $17.8 guaranteed ($9 million signing bonus). But, he's older. Obviously the fight will be over the signing bonus and up front money, but Zeitler is already guaranteed $8.07 million for next year - so the groundwork is set.
This.
I said it would be an option to wait until after the '16 season, but it would be best to get a long term deal done before next year. The only reason would be if we didn't have the cap space this year, but I don't see any way that will be an issue. Especially when you consider he is already guaranteed over $8 million. I didn't realize the option on his rookie deal paid that much.
