Zeitler was very good, but like Eric Steinbach years ago he was not worth the money the Browns were willing to pay him.  The big mistake was letting whit walk, but again this is what good teams do.  They let older players walk a year too early instead of a year too late.  Our problem was that the young guy we had drafted as a replacement was a complete flop.

Correct. Money was saved for Eifert.

I agree with everything you said here. The problem was not with letting aging players walk as much as not drafting/developing young players to replace.
