As the beginning of the new league year and free agency grows closer, the fate of various players has started to come out, and one such player is Kevin Zeitler of the Cleveland Browns.
According to the NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala, Zeitler is rumored to be on the trading block for the team, and will most likely get traded in the next couple of days.
Don't be super surprised if the #Browns clear even more cap space and move G Kevin Zeitler. Told his name has been thrown around some. After all: it's the old regime that made him the highest paid guard, and this regime drafted Austin Corbett to be an interior OL. https://t.co/Q2A2TUF2mw

These moves on John Dorsey's behalf have proven a bit notable, to say the least. He's already got fans and the press alike talking because he re-signed left tackle Greg Robinson and released outside linebacker Jamie Collins.
Surely, this latest news about Zeitler is also bound to get some tongues wagging, too. But, that's not to say that he's going to be out of the game for long.
“In addition to being valued in Cleveland, he is valued around the league. Zeitler allowed one pressure in pass protection for every 63.0 snaps, which was the best mark in the NFL. The Wisconsin product has played in 91 games and started 90 of those since entering the league. Despite playing at or near a Pro Bowl level every season, he has yet to be recognized.”
So, while Zeitler may not have the so-called “celebrity” recognition that many of his colleagues have, that doesn't mean that what he does isn't valuable. To the contrary: he's a very solid player at his position, even if he's not a “celebrity” name, and he's someone that the Browns should think twice about trading.
