Eifert has a 5th year option at like 4.5 million, that will be picked up even if he only plays in 8 games this year
That being said, looking forward to 2018, using a franchise tag on him would be a dicey prop. It would be 10 mill for a year.
After the 2020 season, I fully expect this league and the CBA to strike and lose a full year. So, I would rather see the Bengals offer Eifert a 3 year deal for around 25 million, 10 to 15 guaranteed. Keeping him for 18, 19 and 20.
His contract would end when he would be 31 years old.
