Yesterday, Adam Schefter reported that Ravens guard Kevin Zeitler “will be a full participant in Baltimore’s mandatory minicamp” and more notably, that he is “still in search of a new contract, but he will report.”
I, for one, had not heard a peep about KZ looking for a new contract at any point in this offseason, but if we’re being honest, dude deserves it.
The lazy take against extending Zeitler beyond his current contract which ends after the 2023 season is a combination of age (33 years young), a perspective that offensive guard is an easily replaceable position, and wanting to allocate financial resources to shiny toys on offense and defenses instead.
