So, we'd be trying to resign Eifert at a high contract anyways and over the past 3 seasons he hasn't been able to make it to even half the games. That's one solution that would solve that problem. There are others as well. Players on the team, who's contracts are expiring, are not owed a job with the Bengals.

When healthy Eifert as good as anyone at the TE position, but we'd be saving ourselves from spending a 1st round pick in getting a top flight OT in the 2017 draft, so we could change how we might use our 1st pick next year.

Of course, this is not the Mikey way, and that's what this really comes down to, not salaries.
