Feel terrible for Eifert.  Can't imagine the disappointment he must be feeling.  His body is just not holding up its end of the bargain.  So much talent and his body is likely going to prevent him from landing that 2nd huge contract.

Some team will still sign him in hopes that the stars will align, but I doubt it will be anything more than 3 years.  Who knows maybe the Bengals will tag him for 1 year and then re-evaluate for 2019.  

Feel bad for the guy.  I know what it's like when the body starts breaking down.  Happened in my career around age 28.  Little things at first, like reaction time, then more physical.
