Everybody moonwalk  whoop whoop

Per Mike Chappell

 

we have signed Ebron. I might be the only person but I am so excited about this signing. What do y’all think. 

[AwesomeAustin]

Wow.  I prefer Swoope. If Ebron couldn’t get it going with Stafford then I don’t see him producing here enough to justify 7.5 million a year

[Solon]

Hopefully he'll leave his penchant for dropping the ball in Detroit. He can be special.

[TheMose]

REALLY like this signing. With Luck throwing him the ball he can finally break out as that 10th overall pick. In Ballard We Trust

Based on what?

[RealityIsLuck]

Eh, not really a big fan in the contract but he's a nice #2 TE for sure.

If he gets 7.5 mil a year, then he deserved it because that's max value...

[MTC]

[bananabucket]

Good signing.  People overrate Swoope, I actually thought Goedert or Gesicki could have been dark horse picks in the draft.  No need now though.

[BlueShoe]

I thought we would sign him. 

 

I was thinking 3 or 4 years for around 15 to 16 million. I was close.

I’m guessing it’s on his possible ceiling because he really hasn’t done much

[Colts_Fan12]

Awesome!! this dude has all the tools to pass Doyle I believe in him 

[NorthernBlue]

MAX value of 15 million...so it's mostly incentive based?

 

Either way. I like it. An excellent weapon for Luck and still young enough to break out. If Eric Ebron is your TE2, then you're doing okay.

[PrincetonTiger]

I guess Jeremy Hill can stop recruiting 

[Coltsman1788]

Let's see what he's got. It's some news at least.  lol

[w87r]

It's like DraftMaster said, if he gets $7.5m that will mean he hit some major incentives.

 

I imagine the deal is more in the $5m base range. With an easy out next year. Low guarantees 

[Bluefire4]

I hope this doesn't take the Moncrief compensation pick away next year. I'd rather have that. Ebron is pretty good though even with all the criticism he gets from Lions fans.

 

Edit: Never mind he was cut. Good signing.

That's why I hope we sign another solid WR (Grant?). We can use more picks on Defense and Oline.

It won't take the Moncrief compensatory pick away. It could take the Melvin one away though. Not sure how the incentives affect that.

[Yoshinator]

Good signing though, that eliminates the need for a TE in the draft IMO.

This is like one of them deals where we have to spend a certain amount of money ,

[ricker182]

Kind of makes me think Ballard doesn't have a plan and whiffed on everyone else.  

  

This is such a lame signing.  

  

No excuse to not have paid Melvin or Hankins.  

  

We don't need Ebron and honestly I don't think he helps at all. 

[PrincetonTiger]

I guess I will have to get use to someone else wearing 85

I just remembered he got cut actually so he doesn't factor into it at all... oops.

That's what I was wondering, Swoope hasn't really played.

[CopenhagenColt]

I like it

Do you mean Moncrief or Ebron?

Melvin wanted to much and JH was more of a 3-4 DL not 4-3 DL

it's called Moving in a different direction my friend Teams actually do that these days

[gnet550]

I like it...Reich likes two TEs...let’s get an OL now

[BPindy]

15 won’t be what he gets unless he plays out of his mind, and then he’ll have been worth it.
