Eifert Returns
(03-15-2018, 07:43 PM)jj22 Wrote: This isn't a win/win for Eifert/Bengals. It's a win for Eifert. No other team was interested, and instead of putting the 5.5 million on a MLB, OC with a track record of playing, they gamble it on a player we all know will be injured again. Who exactly where they bidding against again? Right. Nobody. Just a waste of money, and for a FO who swears they are broke, this could have been spent elsewhere.

They don't have this kind of money to waste if they going to cry broke.

I get the frustration with the injuries, but I like the move. Hobson reported that the 9ers and Rams brought the price up--so I'd be willing to bet they offered him more. Hobson says we upped our original offer, implying he took less money to stay in Cinci. 

Look. I know it's frustrating. But sometimes you have to take a risk. If our offensive line improves this year, we have a ton of weapons. If Eifert stays healthy, he puts our offense over the top. I think it's worth the risk. It's only 1 year, 5.5 mil base--a little more than I'd like, but I'd take the same risk if I'm in their shoes and someone's trying to pry him away. Give him a year and see how he does. We can always draft a tight end to be safe.

The only other guy I'd look at signing if we missed out on Eifert would be Jensen, the center. But it's likely we weren't in the running. It's more likely we would have had to resign Bodine. At this point we're in a great spot to draft the 1st overall center at 21. At that point our offensive line looks a lot better, as we most likely add to it later in the draft as well.
