I think it was Rotoworld that suggested he could be back on a 1 year "prove it" deal. If we can have Eifert at 1 year for like $2 million, it's low risk/high reward.
I wouldn't pay much more for him though. At all.
Btw...it's not some ridiculous idea that he'd accept a small contract here. Many times - if the $ is the same - players prefer staying right where they're at. Moving to a new team requires learning a new playbook with a new QB, finding a new home, learning a new area, etc. Plus some of you are assuming a contender would have a spot for an oft-injured TE.
I could see maybe the Steelers, but they just got burned by the oft-injured Ladarius Green.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
