I would say there was very little chance Zeitler was going to sign for anything less than $10 mill APY. He felt he was near the top of the league in terms of OG play, and he became the highest-paid OG at the time, surpassing Osemele ($11.5 mill APY). Bengals would have likely had to pay $11 mill APY to keep him.

IF the team had done their due diligence replacing him, this wouldn't be a discussion to be honest. Yep. They blamed it on an injury to Ogbuehi, but it is kind of disappointing that they couldn't see that the kid just didn't even seem to like football, let alone be very good at it. At least that got rid of the piano man...not that I think the current line coach is any better. I wish they would hire Big Willie as offensive line asst coach or something.

It's all speculation, but the market wasn't as high the year they should've extended him. I think 10 mil was the high water mark when all was said and done? I'd think they could've extended for at least under 10. |
