And regarding Eifert, he needs to show he can stay healthy and contribute more consistently. Plus, the Bengals need to decide if he's actually going to be considered an integral part of the offense going forward or if he will be more like we expect for Zeitler and waste a first rounder because the Bengals don't actually value that position that high and allow him to walk.

Even Burfict could be a toss-up because of his image. If the Bengals want to get rid of their on-field problem children, they could end up cutting Adam Jones and letting Burfict walk after 2017.

Ah, the life of a Bengals fan.

Eifert most definitely needs to show he can play a full year.  He needs to be considered and integral part, but it's the Bengals, so who knows.  Eifert is a conundrum.  He's an upper echelon talent, but his worth is hard to gauge due to health.  That being said, that hasn't stopped the Pats regarding Gronk.  Something to ponder, I guess.

Good point about Burfict.  I'll say this:  he did a lot to clean up that image last year, will anyone notice?
