He might end up being reasonably cheap for the talent. When the guy is healthy he is a gamechanger for us.

To even get a game here and there of him is pretty damn good, that is how good he is when healthy.

Might be a blessing in disguise that he is hurt in his contract year.

I said before that if he stayed healthy for an entire season he could probably rack up 16 or so TD's.

If this happened this year he probably would be gone.

Disagree on bolded honestly. The Bengals desperately needed him in the red zone last year. If he's out, their chances of scoring go way down.
But his health risk is why I was so adamant about going after OJ Howard in the draft. I was very happy with Ross, don't get me wrong, but the Bengals now are more dependent on Eifert staying healthy or the other TEs improving from last year.
