I just wonder if we may be better off cutting ties, and using that money elsewhere.
I like everything he brings, but from a business perspective, I would be skeptical.

Right, that's the conundrum.  If we shoot for a team-friendly prove it deal then we are going to be competing with the same deals coming from franchises that might have a better reputation for trying to win that ours does.

We shall see how things shake out, but it wouldn't rock my world view if we let Eifert walk and he signs for $7 million somewhere else and does pretty OK while we roll into 2018 with more than $7 million to spare.
