Cut/Released: Eric Ebron

[Datsyukian Deke]

Just another waste brought to you by the Martin Mayhew era in Detroit, wasting 10th overall on a TE, when the likes of Aaron Donald, OBJ, & Ryan Shazier were on the board.

This franchise never learns.

I could see the Chiefs looking at him. They are not very fond of Harris and have been wanting ti implement a 2 TE system. Ebron would be a mediocre starting TE but a very strong second TE.

Personally I'd rather the Chiefs put the rest of their focus on defence.

Wouldn't mind seeing him come home and taking the Ed Dickson role.

wasn't dickson used a lot as a blocker? ebron is terrible at that.

Yeah, but they usually keep three TEs on the roster, one of which is usually an exclusive blocking TE. I don't think that'd rule out Ebron.

It seems like they like Luke Wilson more, though. Not sure about his blocking ability.

willson is a good athlete but he's decent/medicore in every other way. not a liability as a blocker but certainly not ideal blocking TE either.

but at least he wouldn't be expensive.

That's probably the main concern. I think they have about 7.5M left to spend in free agency and still need a few things like a backup QB.

There it is

 

[Reality Check]

Ebron is just another one of those guys where teams will bite on the potential. Only to be disappointed at some point.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Haven't the Lions had about 6 of those guys?

...checked, just 2 TE busts in the last 10 years or so. Seems like more.

 

[MMC]

Can someone explain what happened?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Because Ebron isn't as bad as people think. He sucks at blocking but if your team needs an athletic flex TE..you could do worse. I think he'd do well in Carolina.

Luke Willson

Unusual spelling, yeah

Be better

6/7 players taken after him have been to a Pro Bowl.

I will like the Seahawks to try him to replace Graham

I don't think anything happened Ebron has always been the same throughout his career and big WR that is listed as TE that drops ridiculously easy catches far too often to be a top TE but has the athletic skills to beat mismatches.

He played in a pass heavy offense and as I said has the athletic ability to get open. The problem isn't the lack of catches it is the unreliability of him dropping passes at bad times and his complete in ability at catching the ball.

Seattle is blowing up their roster. I doubt they sign anyone but placeholders.

don't remind me this ...

Its somewhat of an accomplishment, either way it just goes to show how bad of a pick he was (and everyone knew that at the time).

I'd like to see what the guarantees and base at, but I like the addition.

He was a bad pick but eventually you have to look at the player. He's not a bad player.

Signed with the Colts. He and Doyle could compliment each other well and, as I understand it, Frank Reich likes 2-TE sets.
