The Eifert Dilemma

Nick Boyle just got 3 years, $18 mill from the Ravens. I'd expect it's going to cost probably $5-7 mill a year just to keep Uzomah since he's been more productive than Boyle.
Regarding Eifert, the incentives don't really help in terms of cap space because you have to reserve all that amount in case Eifert does meet those incentives. So he'd still count $5 mill toward the cap. At this point, I wouldn't give him more than $4 mill in total, as I don't want to see more than that eaten up from the cap. I know that's low, but at this point, Eifert's played only 14 games over the past three seasons and has never played a full season. I'm ready to move on.

It will be an interesting choice.  Boyle was the guy I wanted in that draft.  We took Uzo and the Rats took Boyle a couple picks later.  Boyle is an outstanding blocker, something that Uzo lacks.  I liked what I started to see in Uzo, but I think there are later round picks that are better blockers and decent chain movers that could be had in a later round.
