Yeah. One year deals are low risk, but this says it all;

Through five NFL seasons, he's missed more regular-season games (41) than he's played (39).

However, in fairness this off season it appeared everybody with a name was in play with the Los Angeles Rams. When I had the opportunity to listen on Sirius every other talking head would chime in..."Heard the Rams are interested." So just like trades, some of the best free agent signings you make are the ones that you don't.

I didn't want Eifert, just was too injured for my taste, in fact, they only thing you can rely on with Tyler Eifer is his unreliability.

I'd think he gets cut before the season if he's unable to go in camp. They'd eat $3 mil in dead money but save $1.65 in cap space. Best thing for him to do might be to just take a year off and get 100% and try to make a team next offseason with the way his last couple of years have gone. Back surgery is a tricky thing.

I'm sure I said check him out. I was starting the push for the Jimmy Graham signing. That was before Cooks and knowing Watkins was gone. Didn't think Graham was going to get 10M a year. Listening to Waldron talk about the TE group I think the Rams will be good at TE. Losing Watkins short yardage redzone TDs is a concern. Saw Everett run a quick short slant against the Cardinals for a TD on replay. He needs to and can step up in the redzone.

He is not out for the season, yet.
"My understanding is he did tweak his back just a little bit," NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport noted on Wednesday's edition of Inside Minicamp Live.

Good players coming back from injury is a tricky proposition. It's better if they can at least play part time a season after the injury. Sullivan is a good example of that.
