I also think he improved throughout last year, and the struggles early on had a lot to do with Williams lack of experience at the position.well he turned down 5.5 million. I would offer him 8 million. I would offer Dre k 8.5-9. Whit whatever he wants probably 2 year 17 mill. I would cut Sims malaluga and tj Johnson and sign a guy like Johnson or bouye and get that secondary locked up for the next 4-5 years. Won't have to use any more first rounders on corners then either. Zeitler is an elite guard just can't play between rg and center letting everyone through like every play is a screen.give him a Center I guarantee you see an all pro player next year at rg.
I want Whit, and think he deserves at least the two year offer.
Zeitler? What "tier" would he be in terms of talent? Sure as hell not first tier. I would argue not second tier (don't really care what PFF says about him...my eyes showed me a very average RG. That player should not be paid $10 million per year. I would much rather use those dollars on a CB to replace Jones and add veteran depth and go with a draft pick.
I have no idea what the Bengals feel about Westerman, but he never got a shot last year when Boling was down. Dan Feeney is not only a likely upgrade at the position, but would cost a fraction of what Zeitler would. I don't dislike him as a person, but I would really think twice before offering him ridiculous money. Offer maybe $7 million per year, and stick to that.
