Extend Eifert?

His leverage is betting on himself to be healthy in 2017. He doesn't have to sign an extension.

The franchise tag number for TE this year was almost $9.9m. It will be over $10m next year. He's not going to sign for $6-7m when there are currently 12 TE averaging $7m/yr or more, and 4 averaging $9m/yr or more.

The Bengals aren't going to want to pay him as a top TE until he can stay healthy (which is understandable, and I agree). He's not going to take a tiny contract when if he's healthy for 2017, he can cash in either for over $10m on the tag, or for a contract of $9m/yr+.


(My 12 of $7m/yr+ and such isn't fully up to date yet, either, because I know Gresham got $7m/yr and he's not on that list yet.)
