Ebron not in slot a lot last year was proven. That is a tight end. Ebron in the slot more can help this team though. So I hope he plays more on outside and fells/Roberts are decent threats inline.

But jones and golladay on outside, Tate in slot and Ebron inline but out for a pass quickly Will be very dangerous for opponents

Ya, i like the option of having Golladay and Jones both on the outside. Got my fingers crossed for an improved run game to open things up even more. If we could ever figure out how to run vs 6 man fronts and pass vs 8 man fronts id be ecstatic!

This is the first time in I don't know how long I have been excited regarding our O-Line. They should be one of the better lines in the NFL. Both pass and run blocking should be improved.

Smart. Lower that 8.5 million 2018 cap hit. 7 or 8 per deal still though based on other te contracts recently. Dion sims just got 6 per from the bears

 

[Mitchrapp]

Extension, already? Lowering a cap hit isn't always better. I'd like to see him this season before we throw him a ton of money..

 

[Mitchrapp]

This is just Ebron's POV..

"Let's just say Bob (Quinn) is my guy, and we talk often, and, you know, we have things in place," Ebron said after offseason conditioning Tuesday at team headquarters. "We've had our own talks, and he's looking for some things from me, and hopefully I can just give him what he's looking for."
And if that happens?
"Then I get to look at you guys for a couple more years," Ebron said.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Nothing from Quinn. Not sure why MLIVE went with that article title.

Well shit, he'll be freaking awesome now. He's doing pilates. Hopefully that helps him become a better WIDE RECEIVER, but who knows.

 

[Tonyballs2]

Too good lol

You can't spell pilaTEs without Tight End

Caldwell says "Ebron keeps getting better." So I guess he's getting better. Lol. I've been quiet on this stupid is he a WR or is he a TE.. But.. He doesn't block as a TE, he doesn't catch as TE - he's basically just a bad WR, as a TE. If we had a WR who caught 1 TD, less than 800 yards and APC was less than 12 yards we'd be like "who cares, get rid of him." Especially at 8.5m.

Rants over. He's a TE. Lol.

 

[atxlion82]

I don't care what he is called lets just look at the production. He adds nothing to the run game so lets look at receiving states. He is looking to get Marvin Jones money.

Marvin Jones 55 receptions 930 yards 4 td's
Eric Ebron 61 receptions 711 yards and 1 td

Ebron was hurt for several games so I don't think the money is too high. The one thing we need more td's
