We should still extend Eifert, but Eifert seems to be made of glass. It would be great to have someone opposite him for many reasons. Of course, you could make the same argument for taking Ross or Davis at WR, Foster at LB, or one of the safeties (Hooker, Adams, or Peppers). Though we've seen them show interest in Fournette at RB, they're hedging their bets by taking a close look at Mixon. I wouldn't count Cook out, either. I don't see any of the top DEs dropping to 9.
Nice post Shady, if all the top pass rushers are gone at 9 i would definately be for Howard, Ross, Davis, Hooker, Adams, Foster, Cunningham, Reddick, Cook or Fournette. Just so many options for us that would help this team. We need all the help we can get.
To the OP, yeah extend Eifert and Burfict. With Eifert's injury history we could keep him for cheaper than he would normally be worth.
Dude is great when he is able to play, Gronk is injured all the time too but no one can dismiss what these types of TE's bring to the table when healthy. Eifert is the best route running TE in the NFL in my honest opinion.
