Sign TE Tyler Eifert

The Broncos obviously need some more targets in their offense, and I think Tyler Eifert is a really interesting risk/reward player in this year’s free agent class.

Capable of moving out and around the formation and playing receiver, Eifert to me would be the type of player that could prove himself in Denver’s offense as the ‘move’ tight end with Jake Butt playing the in-line position and perhaps earn himself a big contract in a year or two.

In this scenario, you sign him to a team-friendly two-year deal, and hope he can stay healthy. If not, you can include an easy ‘out’ in the contract after this season.

If he plays well, you keep him around another year.

When healthy, Eifert is a big time mismatch in the passing game. You have a couple of other tight ends that can block in Heuerman and Butt, and even Traylor. Get someone who can help you in the passing game some more.
