Lions TE Eric Ebron is making himself some money Posted Dec 12, 2017 The Detroit Lions have already picked up Eric Ebron's option for 2018, but that costs more than $8 million bones and is guaranteed for injury only. So unless Bob Quinn is hitting the eggnog a little hard, it seems inevitable that Ebron will be playing under a different deal next year. But Ebron's helped himself a lot by turning around his season since the trade deadline passed. (MLive.com)
