I think you have to keep him around at least another year, maybe more. You want to give him every chance to contribute before judging him to be a sunk cost.
That said, I think they'd be ***** insane to go into 2017 with him penciled in as a started at either OT spot without a viable backup plan in place. If he's the same player he was this season, he'll continue to severely limit this offense. I see no evidence that they plan to move on from Rust Bucket Bodine and Zeitler is probably getting ready to play his last game as a Bengal. This team does not sign quality outside FAs.
That's a lot of soft spots on this o-line. Gotta have a contingency plan.
