Everything I've read indicates that they'll let Zeitler walk as they can't afford all 3. They'll say that they don't have the cap space to re-sign all 3 and fill the rest of the roster.
In reality, they could cut some dead weight and free up some $10 million more in cap space.
We'll see. As you said NE could offer Whitworth a 1 year deal for $10 million in which case he probably leaves.
The Bengals planned to keep Marvin Jones and let Iloka walk last year...and changed course once Jones signed with the Lions.
