Zeitler may not be great for the Browns...but in our system he was good.
The Steelers paid DeCastro $10 million. They still managed to:
Franchise Bell
Extend Brown
Extend Tuitt
Extennd Villaneuva
Sign Haden
WITH LESS CAP SPACE THAN US.
Paying a Guard $10 million this year is the equivalent of paying them about $7.5 million a year in 2012 as the cap rises by about $10 million a year.
Disagree. If you start paying average players like Zeitler top tier money, you will not be able to extend the likes of Eifert, Burfict, Green, Dalton, etc. Zeitler was not a core piece, plain and simple. And I don't understand why you think the fact that they were bad with him isn't valid?
Don't use the steeler's money as a model. They will have real issues very shortly with the likes of Shazier and their offensive line.
