If they negotiate in good faith last year instead of low balling Zeitler to start last year (though I can't confirm this) and then not even making an offer this year you lose one of the better guards in the NFL. I am amazed at the number of people on these boards that think he's mediocre or less. One guy who feels that way asked if people had watched his film. I did. He's an excellent guard. Gave up one sack last year. I can't help but wonder if we shoved Z into the "it's a business, I'm going to get the best deal possible " mode by making disrespectful offers. By the way he's a better guard than Steinbach. Steinbach could be bull rushed, Z does not get bull rushed. The only times Z had bad games were when he was injured - or was compensating for the dumpster fires on either side of him.
Then you franchise Whit while you maneuver yourself into a more favorable position for your squad and QB.
I will be shocked if they don't have a similar year this year - or worse than last year.
That's exactly right 3.
