Ebron indifferent to being traded from Lions

The Detroit Lions can trade Eric Ebron if they want, or not - it's all the same to him.

After Sunday night's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the veteran tight end addressed reports that he could be moved out of Detroit before Tuesday's deadline.

"I mean, it is what it is," Ebron told John Niyo of The Detroit News. "They got till Tuesday. It's a business. If they feel like they want to cut ties with me, then they cut ties.

"If they feel like they can continue to use me and my skills and my abilities, then, (expletive), let's do it."

The former first-round pick has not lived up to expectations since being drafted and can see the benefits of moving on to a team that wants to acquire him. Ebron pointed to Joe Haden, who was released from the Cleveland Browns and signed with the Steelers before the season.

"I mean, you look at Joe Haden out there," Ebron said. "He did his thing in Cleveland and he’s doing even better out here now. So there’s a lot of people that just need a change of scenery."
