The money is there to sign both guys, but going forward Zeitler is going to be the better player, it's just about age. 

"In his prime" as if he is still not playing at an elite level. Last I checked, the last three years Whit has been a 2x Pro Bowler, 1x 1st Team All-Pro, 1x 2nd Team-All Pro.

I will gladly take 2 years of elite LT play over 6 years of meh RG play. Even then, you said "the best guy on the line", not "the guy who may be the best in 4 years". Right now Whit is the best player on the line and it's not even close. I honestly would also probably take a healthy Boling over 2016 Zeitler, as well.

I hope the Bengals follow the talent trumps need route and takes Fournette if he's their when we pick.
