Report: Ebron lands with Steelers for 2 years, $12M
The Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to a two-year, $12-million deal with former Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron, reports NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Ebron endured an injury-plagued 2019 campaign, but he's one season removed from making the Pro Bowl. He led all tight ends with 13 touchdown catches in 2018 while recording a career-high 750 receiving yards.
The Steelers struggled to get production from their tight ends last year, as Vance McDonald, Nick Vannett, and Zach Gentry all fell short of 300 yards.
Ebron finished 2019 on injured reserve after electing to undergo ankle surgery. At the time, his decision to shut himself down seemed to surprise the Colts.
The 26-year-old is entering his seventh NFL season. The Detroit Lions drafted him 10th overall in 2014 after his standout career at North Carolina.
