From what I've seen...the Bengals never negotiated with Zeitler. They just let him go. A year before he was a free agent, if they swooped in and offerred him a DeCastro size contract...he probably stays. Zeitler was absolutely willingly let go as they don't highly value Guard.

Absolutely. Had they EXTENDED Zeit, and tagged Whit.....we'd be in better shape today.
