I'm willing to bet that Gio and Zeitler will be treated like Marvin Jones and George Iloka were last year and the team will offer them semi-competitive offers in 2017. They may sign those offers or they may test the free agent market like the players are this year.
The team could have sign Iloka to a long term deal last year and he reportedly wanted one. But the team opted to not offer one and here we are this year with him more than likely gone to a team willing to pay more.
The only chance I see for Gio being signed this year is if Eifert refuses to do a long term deal, in which case the team will exercise his 5th team option.
I thought when they drafted Fisher they intended for him to replace Zeitler.
