I get it...I see Thuney next to Jonah for five years and salivate.  However, the real question is whether you want Thuney or a guy like Zeitler AND Curtis Samuel?  

Zeitler could allow for an additional player...I am hoping Thuney takes a 5 year deal that is something like $50 million with a strong guarantee.  But at $14 million or more, I just don't see the value.  He is a really good guard, but he isn't Quentin Nelson.  That guy is the only interior lineman I could see commanding that kind of money.  That being said, it is highly probable that some team will pay him more than I want the Bengals to pay him.
