Zeitler was not worth the contract he received from the Browns. However, if the $5.5 million offer from the Bengals is actually true, that was a lowball offer.
Ronald Leary signed with the Broncos for $9 mill a year.
$8-9 million for Zeitler would have been an appropriate, fair contract to offer Zeitler and he might not have bothered looking elsewhere if he had received such an offer before hitting FA.
