This can't be good for the longevity of an NFL players career.
No way can I get on board with giving Eifert a mega contract this year. If he makes it through the year healthy we should use the franchise tag next year and if his health is holding up work on a long term deal then.

"When he tweaked his back running a route in one of his first practices back, he missed two more games and had a disc removed while the Bengals were playing their last two games."
Would love to see Kroft and Uzi develop. But I don't know if we will even wait that long. Depending on the way the draft falls we really could end up taking a TE in the first round.
Well this makes it sound more likely it won't be a mega contract and it is looking more and more like OJ Howard at 9.
Eifert may never be the same but with his hands, size and route running i would be for bringin him back for the right money
and having these two tear up the middle of the field when Eifert is healthy. To me, getting OJ Howard just makes too much
sense and then going with a DE in round 2 where a lot of good ones will fall.
