I'd bring him back on the same deal as last time. There's no denying his talent and chemistry with Dalton. However, I would still proceed as if he's not on the team and draft a TE in the first three rounds.

We should bring back Eifert. Then we should try to sign Sam Bradford to compete for the starting QB job.

It's all about risk/reward. The last injury could have happened to anyone who was hit like that. If the price is nice, roll the dice.

I liked what I started to see in Uzo, but I think there are later round picks that are better blockers and decent chain movers that could be had in a later round.

Was reading some comments from Brian Callahan, the other day. He was watching film of the Bengals offense from last year, and took note at how impressive they were, early in the season. He made particular note about how efficient they looked with a healthy AJ Green and Tyler Eifert.
I'm guessing that Callahan would love to have Eiftert in his offense. Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations -Frank Booth 1/9/23

I've noticed that nobody talks about Tyler Kroft in these discussions.
What, did our universe merge with another where he wasn't born? I don't get it. What has stone hands Uzomah done to deserve a good contract, block better and have less drive killing penalties than Jermaine Gresham?

Bengals should offer Eifert a minimum one-year deal and let him walk of another team is stupid enough to offer more. Regardless of whether he stays, Bengals should sign Kroft and aim for other positions in the draft (we're fine with Schreck and Carter)

sign Eifert for league minimum. It's HIS turn to repay the Bengals.
Veteran Minimum Benefits When qualified, a player with four (4) or more years of NFL experience can earn his total minimum salary, but have a cap figure that reflects two years of experience – or in 2017, $630,000. The contract must be for only one year, and must not contain combined bonus money (signing, roster, workout) that exceeds $90,000.

Ceej is a fairly good blocker, Boyle is among the best. Boyle can't catch a cold on a good day, while Ceej is hard to take down and not bad in space. Plus, much more athletic. The differences are too minor to really make a significant difference.

Pleasantly surprised to see so many people behind bringing Eifert back... I was under the impression from some other posts around here that people had completely soured on the idea.
He's a stud, and the offense was noticeably never the same after his injury the last year. Yeah, he could get hurt again, but so could anyone. It's fun to say "pass on Eifert, go sign Jared Cook"... right up to the point where Cook gets here and a 300 pound lineman falls on the pack of his ankle, too. That wasn't an Eifert issue - it was just stupidly bad luck that could have happened to anyone, and you know - you just know! - that if the Bengals went out and threw down big money on a FA or spent a high draft choice on a TE he'd just end up getting hurt again while Eifert's making the Pro Bowl somewhere else. The only way I don't re-sign Eifert is if he himself wants a change of scenery... |
