Hearing Giants trying to move G Kevin Zeitler and Jags trying to move G Andrew Norwell but not likely, given their salary. Other teams anticipate them being released, when they would generate significant interest

Kevin Zeitler has 1yr/$12m left on his contract if you trade for him, heading into his age 31 season.
Andrew Norwell has 2yr/$25m left on his contract if you trade for him, heading into his age 30 season.

If nobody is biting, you might be able to lowball a late pick at them since it'd be better than nothing when they release them. I would be quite happy with Thuney and Norwell/Zeitler as the guards with XSF as the #3 and Jordan the #4 on the depth chart.

Throw Linsley or a 2nd rounder in at C and the interior of the OL could be a real strength.

There's also no way the Bengals are going to put so much of their resources at guard. Signing Thuney, trading for Norwell/Zeitler with XSF as #3 and Jordan as #4 would make guard their most highly paid position group, let alone the interior line as a whole if you then signed Linsley as well.

Surely you'd just wait until Norwell and/or Zeitler were released. In the current economic climate you should be able to outbid other suitors and still get them cheaper than that.
