So much money that they even traded for Brock Osweiler to get a 2nd round Draft pick by taking on his salary. Zeitler's value was Market Driven and Markets can over swing high or low. The Browns paid a Premium for Zeitler and I'm fine with that. They had the extra money to do it. I am also OK with the Bengals not matching or beating the Browns offer. No interest in a Stacy Andrews discussion. You can weed into that if you want. As for Pro Bowls, I don't expect to see any Pro Bowl mentions in any of your Future Posts. For example, if say a few years from now the Bengals let a Pro Bowl player leave in Free Agency, be sure not to complain that they "let a Pro Bowl player leave." Be sure to call out anyone that does say it. After all, a Pro Bowl player is just like any other. Means nothing. Also, don't give any shout outs to any future Bengals that happen to make a Pro Bowl because it means nothing and that would be Hypocritical. Stay true to your Standards and you will have me at Hello. I on the other hand, won't be strong enough not to mention if a guy has or has not made a Pro Bowl in my Future Posts. I guess I just lack your Strength and Wisdom. I will look to you as inspiration as I try to not make mentions of Pro Bowl appearances in the future but I'll likely slip up. All players are equal. You taught me that. Always put at least 2 words between the words "Pro" and "Bowl" or better yet never even put those 2 words in a Post. I get it now. I'll watch from afar as you pave the way on this.
A) The Browns' signing Zeitler to the highest OG contract ever when he isn't the greatest OG ever.
or
B) The Bengals franchise tagging Stacy Andrews paying him Top 5 OL money for a guy who wasn't even Top 50 at his position while he played.
If the Bengals are willing to grossly overpay Andrews (who sucked), what's so bad about the Browns signing Zeitler when they can afford it and he improves their team?
