The Facts: After failing to find a trade partner for him, Lions are releasing Ebron, per source. Another TE hits the market.

Diehards Line: As the Sports Xchange recently suggested, Ebron is one of the NFL's biggest enigmas. He was one of the league's best tight ends in the second half of the season, but was so inconsistent in the first half of the year that he was booed regularly by his own fans. Ebron finished third on the team with 574 yards. He could benefit from a fresh start -- and there will be suitors.
