Supposedly the Bengals Extension Offer to Zeitler was $5.5 Million

Not only do the Bengals find ways to deflect it, fans seem to totally ignore or not grasp the fact that the salary cap rises every single season. In 2-3 years, Zeitler's deal won't be as big of a deal as it was this offseason. If they would've came in around $10m before he hit free agency, I think he might have stayed. When you offer half of that a year or two prior and then tell him to come back if he doesn't get what he wants, he should have left.

We should have drafted DeCastro any way. Not saying Zeitler wasn't good, but I wish we would've went with DeCastro.
