As was mentioned, you can't overpay to keep guys on the roster as significantly as they would have with Zeitler. Whittworth wanted more than a 1 year deal and got it, not sure it was great decision to pay him multiple years like Rams did, time will tell.

I don't have faith that a 30 year old RT coming off a big season-ending injury and not played RG before (at least in the NFL) could play near the same level as Zeitler. Again, goes back to how much of a priority is there to win now with the current core of good players. My perception is the Bengals have not done enough to try and have a Super Bowl caliber team, at least not for the past couple years.
