In just about every thread someone is dogging him for his performance this year, yet he played 100% of snaps, was named 2nd team All Pro Right Guard, and 7th ranked of all guards this year. I fail to see that as disappointing. He was having to play 2 positions......RG and RT... I think he's earned the money he is going to get, and I hope he stays here....
Guards are being massively overvalued right now due to the advent of guys like Aaron Donald and our own Geno Atkins.
His durability was a big plus, but regardless of what he was ranked by PFF I saw numerous times when the Bengals needed a yard or less that he was pushed back in to the lap of the RB. He is a solid, but not spectacular pass blocker, but a deficient run blocker. I'm guessing he ends up elsewhere, because someone have a huge need and he will look like a good fit...a former first round pick. The Bengals know what he is worth, and will not overpay.
Another way to look at the "money he is going to get": Would you rather have Zeitler, or Whit? Or Dre? For me, Zeitler isn't the priority. It will depend on what the Bengals think of Westerman, but they also have a plethora of draft picks this year.
