Similar to what I just said about Gio in another thread, our Tight End situation and specifically Eifert, is odd.
They decide to pay (overpay) Uzomeh. They draft Sample in the 2nd. Eifert is brought back. Uzomeh's usage and numbers immediately go down. Sample, even when healthy, barely sees the field. Eifert sees the bulk of targets.
Why pay Uzomeh, draft a Tight End relatively high, then proceed to barely use them?
I think it's either time to move on from Eifert or it's time to cut Uzomeh. It makes no sense to pay a Tight End 6 mil per to get you 242 yards. It makes no sense to draft a guy in the 2nd and bury him in the depth chart.
Oh, and Fred's stats are, surprise, cherry picked to paint a better picture of Eifert. He wasn't anything special at all.
He was 20th in yards and a number of the guys below him missed time. His YPC was a career low, and among the worst at the position. His 3 TD's is tied with spots 19-32, also known as dead last.
