Kroft has more starts 33-30. Eifert averages 25 catches per season. At $7.6 million, that is more than $300K per catch. Eifert is clearly the better player when healthy. But he lacks the #1 ability needed for an NFL team. AVAILABILITY. Kroft is a solid TE. If The Bengals are looking to upgrade the dynamics of the position, at least pay someone that can play on Sundays.
Ah, this makes the case for keeping Bodine.....
The Bengals screwed up here. They should have put the tag on Eifert. Either the franchise tag or a transition tag. He's worth the risk.
