Jags working on deal with Eifert

[Bengalstripes9]

The coaches likely think Eifert isnt as athletically gifted as he once was. He’s not that great at blocking. He obviously can catch and run routes (although maybe not as effectively as before the injuries), but it sounds like they are making a move to more complete tight ends that can block as well as get open/catch (more versatile tight ends). Not a bad idea to go younger. Carter has been under-utilized. Sample gets a chance. This makes sense. Tough to see him go, but it makes sense. Opens the door for a potential late pick at the tight end position too.
