2nd, I believe the opposite, with Hendrickson being better as the numbers play it out with no injury history like Lawson ( and I like Lawson). But, 13.5 sacks is 13.5 sacks, something only Dunlap has gotten to for the Bengals. 
3rd, there aren't any IOL out there to get as upgrades, and only a few throughout the process. No one is jumping at the bit to sign Trai Turner these days. 
Lastly, there were several players who have signed and even came in for recruiting visits solely because of Anarumo and playing for him in the past. So, I don't know where your information is coming from? Maybe you can shed some evidence of the specific players not liking him? 

Where is this information that Zeitler didn't want to come here?

In a way, the Bengals getting Zeitler back would have been poetic and an admission of the problematic roster-building lately. But Zeitler was apparently out of their price range, so now they will instead have to face him twice a year in the AFC North.


All I've seen was that he got a better offer from Baltimore with more money and more guaranteed money then Cincinnati offered him.

That isn't a not wanting to go somewhere, that's just taking the best offer.
