The thing is nobody really knows exactly how this will play out. If Eifert only plays a handful of games and Uzama kicks in big time then there's no good reason to hand him the big contract. 
On the other hand it may just turn the other way around with him demanding the big bucks.. 

With Eiferts injury history, I wouldn't offer big bucks even if he had a stellar year. He's too risky to invest big $$ because I feel he would earn most of that riding the bench.
