Westerman hasn't played a single down as a starting Guard. If you think there won't be a falloff...

As far as paying a Guard $10+ million a year...it's not like the Bengals are going to shift that money to another Top Tier free agent.

It amazes me how fans won't spend money on Player A...because it's too much. Well DeCastro is a comparable player to Zeitler and the Steelers game him that much. It's how much top Guards cost.

Sure the Bengals have a clean salary cap. But they also haven't won a playoff game in 26+ years. We're supposed to be following the Steelers model. The gave a Guard $10+ million a year.

That's just it.  The bengals never seem to divert money elsewhere.  There's no outside the box thinking here.  The type of thinking that is if we cut mauluga we save x dollars and combined with zeitlers money gets us player y.  Mikey b is too loyal on contracts.  It's why he was never caving to Carson Palmer, not that he should have.  Or asked Leon hall to take a pay cut towards the end of his career, which he should have.  It's still all about the bottom line here.
