I agree with this.   Eifert is a rare talent.   He bring so much to the table when he's healthy, especially in the red zone.   Other teams have had to deal with frequent TE injuries - I think of Gronk.

He's worth keeping.   Start with an incentive based offer.  If he doesn't take it franchise him.

If we're ever going to get to the big show we have to have playmakers.   Letting the guy go and putting the money "elsewhere" for a dubious value is the real waste of money.

For the record I like Kroft.  He was productive and pretty reliable.  But a guy like Eifert is an impact player.
