Eifert not practicing

Plus why would a supposedly still talented TE sign with a team where he'd be stuck in a time share with said UFA in an offense that limits his pass catching opportunities? After all, pass catching - not blocking alone - is where TE's earn the big bucks. He'd be limiting his future earning potential. It doesn't jive with me.

Guy's made like $20m already, is making like $3.5m this year, and last year he won a playoff game.

Maybe he sees his chances of winning a SB as higher in Arizona, so he'll do whatever?

Admittedly could be a big dropoff like you suggested, but it also could be he just enjoys winning and doesn't feel like he needs more than $3.5m/yr (which lets be honest, is still a lot of money).

Kroft has played 21 games eh? How many did he start and play with Dalton i may ask?

How many games was he the #1 TE in those 21 games?

Very vague.

...Just sayin....

How many times was Dane Sanzenbacher the #1 WR in the 20 games he played for the Bengals?

Irrelevant, because he wasn't GOOD ENOUGH to become the #1.

(15 catches in those 20 games, by the way.)

Really good players will always force their way in. Players that aren't really good, won't.

Maybe we have something there.

If he cleans up his hands issues, he'll probably beat that projection, but if he doesn't, look for that projection to plummet along with Dalton's confidence in him.

Right now he has 11 catches on 22 targets. Dalton won't keep feeding the ball to a guy like that, because Dalton doesn't want a 50% completion. (Eifert was at 72.2% last year, even with that awful Texans game.)
