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.
No, it's $8m. That's just a typo on his part.

No idea why he put $6m. I also don't buy that Zeitler is a top 10 Guard in the NFL.
His $8m cap hit this year is the 3rd highest in the NFL (well, it was before DeCastro's new contract) and he's sure not the 3rd best guard. It's why they wanted a smaller cap number. $8m would put him at 7th in 2017 in cap hits.
There's now three guards who make at least $10m/yr.
