I think Eiffert is probably a Zach Ertz type deal that averages out with 8.5 Million a year with outs to the team three years in and some playing time bonuses for Eiffer to push him towards 9.5/10 if he plays most the games. Burfict is a going to want to be paid at least more than Kirksey in Cleveland got which is 9.5 a year. I think those are simply the market prices, those aren't the prices when teams get into a bidding war over them. Letting them hit the market could turn this into a Zeitler situation where one gets a record setting contract. Remember Jimmy Graham who has been often injured is up for a new contract this year too. If he resigns at a big number that could have a big impact on Eiffert.

I think between Burfict and Eifert, Eifert has the most to gain for playing through a whole season. It'd be too advantageous for the Bengals to lock him up now.
That's why I think Burfict is the one that takes an early extension. I think Eifert pulls the Cousins approach and gambles on himself to try and make bank.
