Why not wait until nest year to take the extension?  What if Eifert misses a bunch of games with injury again in '16.

Teams only have from the end of a players 3rd season until early May (May 2nd this year) to pick up the 5th year option. Also extensions aren't guaranteed until the start of the 5th season. So there is no reason not to, do you argue just for the hell of it?
