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.
You're focused on $12 million a year that he got from the Browns. What if we could have extended him for $9-10 million?
Zeitler isn't an average player. He gave up very few sacks here and was a good run blocker.
With the Browns he looks average...but here he was Above Average to Good.
