Right now we are paying Zeitler over $8 million for 2016. If we could work out a long term deal with him we might actually SAVE money against the '16 cap. Most players will take a pay cut for one season in exchange for getting more guaranteed money over the length of a contract.
Agree, there is a lot of time left before they have to worry about Eifert. With everything on their plates, I would not expect to see anything here until at least training camp when they know who they have and what they have to work with.
