RE: Eifert Back - Bengalpool - 03-15-2018
Love it. Saves us from picking up one in the draft (at least early on). Great signing.
RE: Eifert Back - Au165 - 03-15-2018
Good move. One year deal no matter the price tag is a safe play. My guess is it is cheaper than the tag as they could have tagged him earlier in the week if it wasn't trending that way. I like the move if he survives the year and does so while performing you get another chance to lock him up long term next year.

Am not thrilled about this
RE: Eifert Back - Au165 - 03-15-2018
So sounds like a heavily incentive driven deal which is sweet.

"Eifert Back" sounds like he got a new injury.
RE: Eifert Back - The Caped Crusader - 03-15-2018
As the article states, it is HEAVILY incentivized. I love, love those contracts. You want the money? You have to earn it. Brings another weapon back. I'd love, love to see two tight end sets. Kroft showed himself as a capable tight end, even more so if Eifert can stay healthy.

Love it. Dude is the best route running TE in the NFL when healthy. :andy:
He just never is, hope this changes this year and we can re-sign him to a longer term heavily incentive deal.

perfect 1 year deal to see if he can stay healthy. if so probly a tag canidate next offseason
Now we are getting close to out of money in free agency I think. without making some moves to free up some cap space at least
RE: Eifert Returns - Synric - 03-15-2018
Bengals with another savvy move.

I agree. I felt like he is better than Gronk in that aspect. His routes are a bit more crisp. Both, ironically, have massive injury concerns.
Regardless, if we can manage a full season out of him, that will be a large win.
Look forward to seeing Dalton, Mixon, Green, Ross, Kroft and Eifert on the same field together. Lot of targets.
RE: Eifert Returns - masterpanthera_t - 03-15-2018
Loove it. As one of the few who wouldn't have minded the Bengals putting the franchise tag on him, the two million dollars less than the tag (if all incentives achieved), seems like a great price to me. If he stays healthy all year, franchise him and work out a long term (3 year) deal.
RE: Eifert Returns - reuben.ahmed - 03-15-2018
The deal should be something like 5K per yard. That way he has to get 100 yards a game to earn his 8 million.
To even think someone gets that much per yard gained...for example, even though LeBron James plays 82 games (ignoring playoffs), he makes $365,200 per game! So yeah, we as fans can complain when we see lack of effort.
RE: Eifert Returns - Truck_1_0_1_ - 03-15-2018
Fantastic.
Super glad he's back. Hope he returns to 2015, but not holding my breath, as none of us should.
Massive game-changer, if he's healthy.
RE: Eifert Returns - Yojimbo - 03-15-2018
Great we can waste another year planning on Eifert playing and then having it blow up in our face. It was time to move on and try to get a new young TE that can stay healthy. This is just kicking the can down the road.
RE: Eifert Returns - Okeana - 03-15-2018
im so happy to see him on a one year deal. i love the guy and hope he stays healthy
RE: Eifert Returns - bengals67 - 03-15-2018
He is a top 5 TE when healthy and Dalton loves to target him.
Time will tell.
RE: Eifert Returns - Lionel Hutz - 03-15-2018
No problem with re-upping Eifert since it a 1 year prove-it deal. Not quite ready to cut bait with a top 5 tight end (when healthy, which he never is).
RE: Eifert Returns - impactplaya - 03-15-2018
awesome move.
now you have not one but 2 legit red zone threats at TE.
think Hernandez Gronk with Pats.
Andy is at his best with a healthy Eifert
