After the release of tight end Eric Ebron, the Detroit Lions are looking for a new starter. Free agency doesn’t have much to offer as the pickings are getting slim.
Another thing working against the Lions is the amount of cap space they have left. The details haven’t been updated but a realistic figure would be $8-10 million.
Unless they clear up more cap space, the Lions can only address one more starting spot. This upcoming draft will be crucial.
Top tight ends don’t come cheap either. The remaining ones on the market also have leverage as the Lions aren’t the only teams looking for tight end help.
