The back is a concern. But we aren't paying him long-term. He's playing to get some more financial security next year. He's been pretty good after surgery for a ruptured disc at ND. I think if the team had any concerns, they would have let him go out west to the 49ers or Raiders instead of matching their offers.

So while its extremely optimistic to think we will get Eifert for 16 games, if he sat out each one of those, he probably would have more positive impact than Russell Bodine. Plus it forces the team to finally use premium draft capital on a center. A spot that has been unstable since Rich Braham who retired over a decade ago.

A shade over $4 million against the cap in a worst case scenario. He gets the other half for performing. I have no trouble with this deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
