Eifert Returns

[Bengalbug]

Great deal for the bengals.

If Eifert has a monster year, they pay him 8m and then can franchise him the following year (10-11m next year) No matter how you slice, they are getting below market value for elite TE if healthy. If not healthy they can release him and have little cap consequence. The bengals are probably looking at this as a 3 year deal, with outs after the 1st and second year.

1st year- 3.5-8m
2nd - 10-11
3rd- 12-13

So essentially they are giving, if Eifert stays healthy and productive, a similar contract the packers gave Graham but with team outs.

the Packers and Graham have agreed to a three-year, $30 million contract. Rapoport also said Graham will get $22 million the first two years of the deal.
