"Actually, their focus right now is trying to get extensions with both cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick and right guard Kevin Zeitler before May 4. That’s when they have to decide if they place a fifth-year option on them. That would cost them $8 million for Kirkpatrick and $6 million for Zeitler next year, so they have to get those cap numbers down and that’s a big priority at the moment."


Can't find the article itself, I think it was from one of the local sports writers back in like March or April.

So, Zeitler's option is for 6M, not 8M?  Now, when you factor that he is a top 10 rated OG in the NFL, that seems like a bargain.  Now if we're comparing the merit of Zeitler versus Kirkpatrick, I'd say that Zeitler has been more consistent and worthy of spending the money on, at this point in time.
