Giants Release Veteran Guard Kevin Zeitler
CINCINNATI — The Bengals desperately need to get better in the trenches this offseason and a familiar face is on the market.
The Giants released guard Kevin Zeitler on Wednesday. The 31-year old allowed two sacks last season and was on the field for 1,003 offensive snaps.
The Bengals picked Zeitler in the first-round (27th overall) in the 2012 NFL Draft. He spent five years in Cincinnati before signing with Cleveland in free agency following the 2016 season.
The Browns traded him to the Giants in 2018. Zeitler was entering the final year of his contract and would've cost New York $14.5 million against the cap.
He's still playing at an above average level, but saving $12 million in cap space was a no-brainer.
Zeitler is one of the many free agents the Bengals should consider signing in the coming days.
