[Whatever]

It would have been unreasonable for Zeitler to demand more than DeCastro in the same off season, and I am pretty sure he didn't. The Bengals didn't even bother offering a deal. Now the next year was entirely different and he got a record contract from the Browns.

Bengals just overestimated Ogbuehi and underestimated Whit.

There were obviously contract talks with Zeitler, and it was obvious the two sides were never really close.  Otherwise, MB wouldn't have told him at the start of FA to come back if the money he wanted wasn't there on the open market.
