Lol no, that's not what I'm saying. I think Eifert is most likely gone (barring him being healthy the rest of the season), and the only shot he has at coming back is if it's a short term bargain contract with very little guaranteed. Even then, if he keeps missing games in 2017, I think the Bengals will just part ways.

The Steelers offered Ladarius Green a 4-year, $20 million deal, and then subsequently cut him after one year because he couldn't stay healthy.
I can easily see Eifert getting $5 mill per year from some team willing and able to take such a gamble.
Fair comparison and fair contract. Keep in mind that Green's contract had an easy out after 1 season.

just wait....
some team will offer Eifert huge money...
I respect that you feel that way. Do you have any examples of this happening?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
