Something Is Missing

-Last year when Boling got his contract, he was tied for 13th in highest yearly average. The average of the top 5 paid guard contracts was just slightly over $7.9m.
-Boling's contract is currently tied for 16th in highest yearly average. The average of the top 5 paid guard contracts is slightly over $9.1m. That number will most likely get higher when All-Pro DeCastro gets his new contract.

Zeitler is good, but he's never been great. (Which was his draft expectations when the Bengals traded down to get him instead of staying and getting DeCastro.) Not sure Zeitler and Thompson is a good trade off for an All-Pro. If Whit plays 2016 at a high level once again, look for one of the two drafted tackles to move to RG. Or for them to draft a guard.

Eifert is hurt once again, and the Bengals will have to see how he performs this year once he comes back. If he doesn't recreate 2015, or gets hurt this year again, they might drop his 5th year option.

Kirkpatrick's cap hit is ridiculous, but signing Adam Jones for 3 years and then spending a 1st on Will Jack sends the signal that the Bengals don't necessarily WANT to be attached to Kirkpatrick long term. His contract value next offseason will be entirely dependent upon his performance this year.

If anything, I would look for another 1 year Whitworth extension.

Agree with this. 

Too many question marks for these players to sign now without knowing their true market value. 

Which should motivate each one this season. 

Although could see Zeitler if he wanted to sign early for reasonable. Doubt he would be willing to though.
