TWENTYMAN: Free agency Day 1 recap

Free agency officially opened for business at 4 p.m. Wednesday, and a few roster moves became official for the Detroit Lions.

Here’s a breakdown of what free agency has brought the Lions thus far:

-- The team released tight end Eric Ebron ahead of the 4 p.m. deadline that would have made his fifth-year option guaranteed. Ebron was hot and cold over his four seasons in Detroit, finishing with 186 catches for 2,070 yards and 11 touchdowns.

His departure leaves a void at tight end with only Michael Roberts, Hakeem Valles and Brandon Barnes on roster.
