If he can stay healthy, offer him a 3-4 year contract, if not, one less year of his "prime" for another team to steal and a strong certainty he'll never make us regret losing him. Taking a 10 million dollar risk for a player like Eifert, for one year, doesn't seem like much of a risk, especially the way this team will otherwise just not use the saved money to spend up to the cap limit.
I have to disagree, he has missed literally half the games of his 5 yr career. That's 10M that should go toward a good OL. If he has a solid season you're still posed with resigning an injury prone player. I'll match that one more year of his prime with one year of a quality Offensive Lineman getting chemistry with the current group.
