Looking at that list, where would his agent draw the line for pay? I would imagine he's got to be looking at that spot between Kuechly at 7 and Perry at 8. That would put him @ $12 mill. Even then I am still doubting the Bengals pay that.
Assuming he stays healthy and out of trouble this year, you would have to think at least $10 million. Before his last extension, the Bengals had a ton of leverage because he had never made big money. Now he has made $20 million, so that is gone. He will only be 27 years old, which means his agent is going to want 6-7 years. Even at $10 million per you are looking at $70 million, with a ton of guaranteed money. A deal like that has "good luck in your new home written all over it"... not something MB is likely to do...
Back to Eifert and a tight end. I just think if you're going to take a pass catcher you take one of the top wide receivers, a true game changer.
