DJB Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) https://www.rotoworld.com/football/nfl/player/1857/kevin-zeitler Ranked as pff #6 overall guard and #1 pass blocking guard last season. Salary is 12 million a year but we a flush with cap space. We should be in on him I hope! Edited March 6, 2019 by DJB 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOboy Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Would love to get Zeitler. Million dollar question though, what's the cost? A 5th? I'd be in. Our second 4th? Sure. Anything earlier might be tough given the options available in FA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New regime drafted Austin Corbett in 2nd rd last year. He can replace him. Originally they were playing him at LT but they signed Greg Robinson so that’s Corbett’s job now.

I’d see what they want. He’s 28. Sign him, sign a center, trade down, draft a tackle. New offensive line done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsMafia13 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Gotta be too good to be true. A top 3(?) guard in his prime just became available? We have the money, so at what round does a sure thing like Zietler outweigh the potential of drafting a guard? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juice_32 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I'd give them a 3rd for him, this would be a great pick up and would allow even more flexibility in the draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What OL or any position for that matter can we get in the third that will be proven top 10 at their position in the NFL. Kinda scratchn my head as to why they want to trade him. I wonder who they are trying to get ammo to move up for or what kind of tampering they have done to know who they can sign.

BuffaloRebound Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 That’s a lot of money for a Guard. 3 years $32m left on his deal. And have to give up a draft pick? He better be All Pro level for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really--the team that acquires him is only on the hook for his base salary, which means he can be restructured or extended at any point to save cap space (and he would get up-front money by doing so, so it's a win-win) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 As much as I wanted Saffold, he is 31 and Zeitler is 28. It would be a shrewd move, and I know I’m a broken record but Paradis at 26 would round us out with Juwain Taylor at LT. We would go from a weakness to significant strength. Running game gets better, passing gets better, more holes for Allen, Shady, and so on. Bring it baby. Investing real $ for excellent O Lineman who have time to be here for awhile is a great investment. Get one of those stud TE’s in the draft, and we’re back in the game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought too. But it hell I wouldn’t gripe about 5 new FA starting o lineman either, so why not. Would be nice to stack the o line with known already developed talent then blow draft pick on fancy offensive toys and an Edge.

But if you’re giving up a 3rd, the first 2 years are basically guaranteed because you’re not cutting a guy after a year that you spent a 3rd round pick on.
