I get what the OP is saying. You want to move on from a player a year early rather than a year late. It's one of the things Belichick is best at, he always seems to know when to trade or release a guy. That said, you don't do so when you don't have a replacement. Chances are that you're already going to be replacing Zeitler and I don't think anyone really knows what we have in Oguehi or Fisher at this point. Right there you've got two first round picks and a second. Add in your best lineman, even if you are trying to avoid his decline, and it's just too much to try.
