I feel your frustration, but with the escalating salary cap and what is sure to be some non-QB talent getting over $20 million per year soon I don't think $10 million per year average is overpaying for Dre.  

I'm pretty disappointed about losing Whit, but I am not giving up everything based on the LT position.  Let's get ready for the draft and find a way to fill or at the very least compete at the LT position.  I am not the least bit concerned about losing Zeitler.
