His durability was a big plus, but regardless of what he was ranked by PFF I saw numerous times when the Bengals needed a yard or less that he was pushed back in to the lap of the RB. He is a solid, but not spectacular pass blocker, but a deficient run blocker. I'm guessing he ends up elsewhere, because someone have a huge need and he will look like a good fit...a former first round pick. The Bengals know what he is worth, and will not overpay.
Another way to look at the "money he is going to get": Would you rather have Zeitler, or Whit? Or Dre? For me, Zeitler isn't the priority. It will depend on what the Bengals think of Westerman, but they also have a plethora of draft picks this year.
The truth about Zeitler. I would like to have him back but he had a down year especially as you said in run blocking.
