The Browns seem to be clearing house of the former regime’s big name acquisitions Ryan Glasgow Jersey White , and Zeitler could be next."No adjective seems to describe Browns’ general manager John Dorsey better than bold. Cleveland looks like it is getting ready for one wild offseason after having their best season in recent memory. The team looks to be on the rise after quarterback Baker Mayfield looked like the answer to Cleveland’s eternity-long search for a franchise quarterback. Cleveland also moved on from Hue Jackson as their head coach, and they followed up the season by hiring interim offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens as Jackson’s full-time replacement. What is more interesting is the rate at which the Browns are parting ways with players who have ties to the Sashi Brown moneyball era. The team just released Jamie Collins, and they have also been rumored to be shopping running back Duke Johnson Jr. One name Bengals fans will surely recognize is Kevin Zeiter, who has now also been rumored to possibly be on the move as well.It is true that Dorsey has no ties to the Zeitler signing, and they already have a young player on their team in Austin Corbett who could be eyed as his replacement. Zeitler is set to have cap hit of $12.4 million for the 2019 season, which would be the third year of his five-year contract.The Browns could create $5.2 million in cap space by trading him before June first. That move would also create $7.2 million in dead cap. The Browns currently have over $80 million in space, but it looks like they want out of Zeitler’s deal in one way, shape or form.There would be a market even for Zeitler’s services, even with that contract attached to him. Teams are desperate for offensive line help Womens Jeff Driskel Jersey , and he was Pro Football Focus’ sixth-ranked guard in 2018.But why is Zeitler even in the news? The word going around is that he’s being discussed in a blockbuster trade with the Giants that would net the Browns with superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham.If this is the sole reason why Zeitler is being discussed in trade talks, it would be shocking to see Cincinnati get involved. It would honestly be more shocking if the Browns actually moved Zeitler in the division. We did see the Bengals trade for Cordy Glenn last season, but it was really only at the cost of moving from nine spots back from the 12th overall selection in the draft.The other reason it probably won’t happen though is the specifics of Zeitler’s contract. Glenn’s contract doesn’t have any dead cap tied to the team cutting or trading him in the final two years of his contract, which are the years he is entering now with the Bengals. That means the team could move on from Glenn without worrying about any repercussions. Not to mention that Glenn will still count for just under $10 million against the cap for the next two season. That is a huge discount when you look at the rest of the league.Zeitler’s contract still has dead money tied to him in case the team moves on from him during the 2020 and 2021 seasons ($4.8 million in 2020 and $2.4 million in 2021). It doesn’t seem significant in the grand scheme of things, but the Bengals are very particular about avoiding dead money. Zeitler will also have a $12.4 million cap hit for the final three years of his deal, which is currently the fourth-highest of any guard in the NFL. There’s a reason why Zeitler isn’t playing for Cincinnati anymore, and it’s because they never intended on paying him this much money.It’s possible that Bengals fans won’t be seeing Zeitler twice a season anymore. It will be interesting to see if he does indeed land in New York, and if Beckham is the compensation they receive for dealing him away. Is Tyler Boyd crazy, or just confident?" />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteCincy Junglea Cincinnati Bengals communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsLibraryBengalsOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections #BITESIZEFilm RoomRoster Transactions and ContractsOrange & Black InsiderSalary Cap And CBATyler Boyd says the Bengals have “the best offense in the NFL”New http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-alex-redmond-jersey ,86commentsIs Tyler Boyd crazy, or just confident?EDTShareTweetShareShareTyler Boyd says the Bengals have “the best offense in the NFL”David Kohl-USA TODAY SportsIt’s been a while since the Cincinnati Bengals had a top-three offense, let alone the NFL’s best. That being said, there’s no lack of confidence in this Zac Taylor-led group who, by one receiver, believes they could have the NFL’s best offense. Tyler Boyd, one of the breakout talents in 2018, didn’t hold back when describing the team’s offense, which he’ll likely have an even bigger role in. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero Jordan Willis Jersey White , the fourth-year receiver claimed the Bengals “got the best offense in the NFL.” While it sounds crazy, Taylor, who was around the dynamic Los Angeles Rams last season, did add that they have the talent and that they must “piece it all together.”As for Boyd, he saw a total of 113 targets throughout the 2016 and 2017 seasons. Then, with a hampered A.J. Green, Boyd exploded, totaling his first 1,000-yard season and securing 76 catches and 10 touchdowns. Towards the end of the season Jake Fisher Jersey , he was oftentimes the go-to receiver. However, he thrived as the team’s second option. With three 100-yard games prior to Green’s injury, Boyd was an absolute animal when the spotlight was on Green, not posting a single 100-yard performance without Green on the field.This season, he could go under the opponent’s radar even more. Hopefully, the Bengals will have Tyler Eifert for a complete season to complement the formidable backfield duo of Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard. Add in Andy Dalton who is now under a coach proven to excel with quarterbacks and a somewhat better offensive line led by first-round pick Jonah Williams, and you have a team that could shock the NFL community. Yes, they have multiple weaknesses, primarily on the defensive side of the ball and Dalton may still not be an elite Womens Andrew Billings Jersey , franchise-carrying quarterback. But, with a renewed energy, this team may finally have the season fans have been waiting for.
