Still, it's the average of the top 5 salaries so I just don't see it shooting through the roof or anything. It won't be terribly far from the salary he'd probably get in a new deal...considering he's a top 8 TE when healthy. Plus again, the salary cap will also go up.
Considering Eifert is 27 this year, don't you think it's risky to commit to a long term deal? Especially after he's missed so many games?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
