Supposedly the Bengals Extension Offer to Zeitler was $5.5 Million

The reason I ask is because if it was before, the Bengals were willing to negotiate and come to a decent deal setting the market value which is something the Bengals never ever do. If the offer was after, they were still willing to negotiate but were not going to pay what DeCastro received.

Zeitler's agent most likely told him to wait to see what DeCastro got and would want at least $250k more at least per year since Zeitler is the better guard.

The Bengals will never pay top $ for a guard and value tackles way more.

I just wish the Bengals were a little, just a little like the Cowboys when approaching the O Line.

It was AFTER.

We'll never know if his agent told him to wait. The Bengals could have offered him $8 million before DeCastro signed and set the market.

Of course you are correct that the Bengals will never pay top money for a Guard. You need good Guards and a Center to win in todays NFL.
