It made sense for the Lions to hang onto Eric Ebron at trade deadline Posted Nov 1, 2017 Eric Ebron says the booing doesn't bother him. And he'd better be right. Because the 4 p.m. trade deadline has passed, and he's still a member of the Detroit Lions. Detroit was fielding calls from multiple teams about moving Ebron, who is stuck in his worst funk since a disastrous rookie year in 2014. He has just 15 catches for 160 yards and one touchdown.
