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.

We might find a few more moves to make.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive. Sorry for Party Rocking!

I'm hoping we sign Mike Pouncey. Then I'd be completely happy with this off season.

I was more than ready to move on from Eifert, yet upon reading he has returned, I can’t help but feel good about it. I’m in a glass box of emotions!

I have this fantasy. Eifert, who has suffered terrible luck with injuries in the first part of his career, plays every game in 2018. If he plays a whole season, it can't help but be a good one. He goes on to have a nice career and is barely bitten again by the injury bug.
Injuries really are luck of the draw most of the time, unless you play the Steelers twice a year, that is. I know Eifert took at least one kill shot from Mike Mitchell that cost him a couple games. I like the deal. He's worth the roll of the dice. If he earns the full amount, you will have had a good season. People want to see bold. This is just the next bold one. One more thing to do, or rather, not do.

They draft one of the great pass catching TE's in NCAA history and won't play him cuz he can't block. Are you kidding me? They twisted his head. They shattered him and ruined him. Don't even know what he could have been but that fiasco irritates me to this day. They humiliated him on HBO, for crying out loud.

True, another occasion of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole and not playing a player to his strengths.

If he was "Shattered" by criticism of his blocking then he was never NFL material. And aren't you the one who complains about Marvin nvere holding players accountable? What is Cofffman's excuse for sucking with the other three NFL teams he played for. Did they hurt his little feelings also?

We draft pass catching TEs, but then Lewis blows them shit about their blocking. There are plenty of cheap, blocking TEs out there and we could always go back to an extra OT to run block. Split the TEs out wide, let them catch the ball. Don't try to turn them into blockers who also catch.Sounds like a job for Fisher!

Have I ever called for public humiliation? Have I ever said draft a guy who is really good at something and then don't let him do it? I don't think so. Fred, making shit up, his stock in trade He was known to not be a blocker. Everyone knew it. And the he was shot when he left here. Maybe he wasn't mentally tough enough. But the dumbass never even gave him a chance. A lot like the way they treated John Ross last year. You disappoint. You never discuss. You just argue.

That's over 10k per minute, assuming he plays 36 minutes for 82 games. As for Eifert, I'm meh on it. If he's healthy, it's great. If not, we still had to keep another $8 million clear under the cap just in case he hit the incentives, probably on top of the $10 million we traditionally hold back.
