I fully expect the Bengals know this and will look to lock him up ASAP. Mike Brown is the king of bargain deals. Having a top 3 TE in the NFL locked up for 5 years at sort of an injury discount screams Mike Brown.
Im actually more worried about Burfict staying in Cincy than Eifert. With that said no one else wants Burfict and were probably the only team that would still have Burfict after all hes done. So I predict next offseason will be quick and painless in regards to signing our own. In Eifert's case it wouldn't surprise me if we extend him during the season, because I repeat we do NOT want him to play all 16 games because if he does he could get up to about 12-15 TDs and 100 yards and 80+ catches and at that point I become afraid that Mike will let the market set his value and some team will throw crazy money at him and steal him.
Eifert is one of my favorite players on the team, if you cant tell
Understandably, dude is great when healthy.
Extend him now, before he shows his greatness. He is the best route running TE in the league and goes up for the ball better than anyone.
He is an athletic WR in a TE body.
