I'm very happy to see him get an extra year. No matter his age or knees, he is producing at a high level. There aren't enough proven quality tackles in the league. A desperate team would give him a solid 3 year deal and hope he holds up just to get one or two good years if it means contending. Giving up that extra year of leverage says a lot about him wanting to stay in Cincy. That's possible even long term if he holds up. Don't forget that they don't have Zeitler signed long term either. So, while they're waiting on the young tackles to pan out they're also looking to see how Zeitler's contract plays out too.
