3 OL Starters Out - Blessing in Disguise?

Steinbach walked because all five starters became free agents the same season,  They paid 4 of the five and let Steinbach walk because they had whit ready to take his spot.  Also Steinbach was overpaid by the Browns.

This seems like it can't be true.

Spotrac decided to lock up past stuff behind membership now, so I can't see 2015 when he got the deal, but in 2017 he was the 25th OG in the NFL... I find it hard to believe he went from 10 to 25 in 2 years unless 1-9 was paid highly and then there was a MASSIVE gap after that before where Boling was.

Also he got $5.2m/yr (with only $2.5m signing bonus and $5m total guaranteed) and Kevin Zeitler got $12m/yr (with $12m signing bonus and $31.5m total guaranteed).... trying to portray Boling's contract as anything but team friendly is a foolish task.
