The Detroit Lions have a couple talented and versatile tight ends under contract for 2018 in Eric Ebron and Michael Roberts. But the position beyond next season is somewhat in doubt.
Ebron is entering the final year of his rookie contract, a fifth-year team option picked up by the club last May. He was terrific the second half of this past season, and hopefully he picks up where he left off.
Roberts, a fourth-round pick last season, has some versatility to his game, and should take on a bigger role in his second season.
