I get this messed up all the time, too: Eifert is under contract through 2016, but as a first round pick the team will pick up his fifth year option for 2017.
From what I understand, the team does not want him to go. But due to his health situation, don't look for them to toss a huge extension at him until they have to, which would be the fifth-year deadline of mid-July in 2017. Not saying they won't offer him one, but it will be at their number .. and of course Eifert should think he deserves top-end TE money.
