Remind me again why we got rid of Kevin Zeitler?

Because Gettleman couldn't manage the salary cap. This was a pre-Schoen move.
But he's also the same age as Justin Pugh.

To sign Kyle Rudolph. And some people were still defending Gettleman.

I'm a huge Zeitler fan but he wasn't good during him time in NY and his performance while in NY wasn't worth what the market was willing to pay. I'm glad he resurrected his career but I want crush Gettleman for signing him or for letting him walk. Both were the right call at the time.

He was plenty good in his time in NY. He was under contract. We cut him for the cap savings, which was ludicrous.
