Saints Among Interested Teams In G Kevin Zeitler

Herbie Teope of the Times-Picayune is reporting that the Saints are among the interested teams in free agent G Kevin Zeitler.

Some reports have said that Zeitler could command as much as $10 million per year, so this would likely be a very costly addition for New Orleans.

Earlier in the day, Jason La Canfora reported that the Colts, Jaguars and Browns are all in the mix for Zeitler.

Zeitler, 26, was taken in the first round of the 2012 NFL draft out of Wisconsin. He played out the final year of his four-year, $7.544 million rookie contract when the Bengals elected to pick up his fifth-year option last year.

Zeitler made a base salary of $8.01 million for the 2016 season and is now in position to be one of the best available free agents in this year’s market.

In 2016, Zeitler appeared in all 16 games for the Bengals and was rated by Pro Football Focus as the No. 7 guard out of 72 qualifying players.

We have him featured in our Top 100 – 2017 Free Agents list.
