Of course Zeitler would likely be a short term option due to his age, but if they draft his next in line this year, it could work out well. If you take those "few bucks left over" and add a few more to them, and they could add a very capable WR like Darius Slayton for about $16M/per (according to Spotrac).

Slayton would be the highest paid receiver in the NFL to never have 1,000 yards in a season. PS, he has never had 800. This is the type of contract where you pay above market for middling production. You don’t replace one good/near elite player with two average.

Slayton is Zack Moss.

Slayton ranked 91/98 as far as PFF grade in 2024, for whatever that’s worth. He is more like a WR4, rather than a WR2
