Zeitler was very good, but like Eric Steinbach years ago he was not worth the money the Browns were willing to pay him. The big mistake was letting whit walk, but again this is what good teams do. They let older players walk a year too early instead of a year too late. Our problem was that the young guy we had drafted as a replacement was a complete flop.
Entering this season the Bengals already knew Eifert was injury prone and the condition of his back. The also knew Ogbuehi's level of play. They failed to adjust their plan.
How many people realistically believed Eifert would get a big extension and Ogbuehi would miraculously improve over one off season going into the 2017 season?
