Former Giants guard Kevin Zeitler heading to Detroit

Y28 : 3/18/2024 7:33 pm
Leaves Baltimore to sign a one year deal with the Lions
Why wasn't he acquired by the Giants?

I was hoping Schoen would bring him back, but now Detroit has Zeitler.
Great early career. Comes to the Giants and he's an also-ran.

Leaves for BAL and is again one of the best interior OL in the game. Heads to DET on a new contract, riding high, and I'm sure will play well again.

One of these (teams) is not like the others.

Here's hoping Bricillo can revamp this OL and help us turn this ship around.

Beyond strange that the giants have the kind of bad luck they do with lineman …so many coaches and not one decent line in like 10years

Because he is 34 and I would bet he gets at least 4/5 million for 1 year?

Hes just a name.

Could it be that Zeitler was better in the blocking schemes run by the Ravens and, potentially, the Lions? He's definitely on the back nine of his career and perhaps the Giants want to draft (yet another) guard. Hoping for Cooper Beebe.

He graded out very well last season by PFF. Top 15 overall and #2 in pass blocking for Gs.

Funny that you mention Cooper Beebe. Look at the pro comparison he has from the combine.
