I would love to have Zeitler at like $6-7m/yr, because I believe he's an above-average player, but he's just not dominate enough for me to ever want to make Zeitler 6% of my entire team's cap space (assuming the $168m number for 2017 is correct).
He never developed into that run game monster he was touted as in the draft. He's a good player, but not great, and doesn't make the guys around him better either. So $9-10m/yr is awfully iffy.
Of course the flip side being.. will the Bengals actually use that money to improve other parts of the team?
Serious question: Do you think David DeCastro is much better than Zeitler or do you think they are similar in talent and production?
