Whitworth, Sanu, and Jones have all lived up to the market value. Zeitler is hard to judge at that dumpster fire, and you can question him being the highest paid guard. He certainly is a top five guard and fine let him walk, but you can't let two offensive linemen walk in the same year. Especially not when what Whitworth asked for was more than fair. Sure he is old, but he's an ox and isn't slowing down, seeing as how he is still a top five tackle in the league.
I could but my Precieved value doesn't matter 1 bit just like your perceived value... The market value is what the Bengals are willing to spend or what they perceive a position or player to be worth. Zeitler was pretty good but had struggles too. If we had paid him what the browns did we would have already had to cut someone of value to make the space.
I'm sure they would have loved Whit to stay... and while he held up this past year. Hes at the age where it will be over very soon. So keeping him would bring up the argument of not preparing for the future...
Or if they signed him and he declined you would be complaining about the exact opposite you are now. You cant make decisions using hinesight... or claim they should have seen the future.
