We dont have a WR on this team, including #18, who is better at getting position on his man and making contested catches. Eifert is a weapon in the red zone. With a 1 yr deal heavy on incentives, his injury history doesn't matter.
Eifert has played in 49% of the games he's been under contract with the Bengals. Burfict has played in 52% of the games over the last two seasons. I didn't hear much opposition to signing resigning Burfict. You resign elite talent when you can. The fact that its a team friendly, 1 yr "prove it" type contract makes it a no brainer.
