Ebron, 27, was taken with the No. 10 overall pick by the Lions out of North Carolina back in 2014. He played out the final year of his four-year, $12.249 million rookie contract and made a base salary of $1,590,337 for the 2017 season.
The Lions elected to pick up his fifth-year option, which would have cost them around $8,250,000 for the 2018 season. However, the Lions released Ebron before the season and he signed a two-year, $15 million deal with the Colts. He signed a two-year, $12 million deal with the Steelers this past offseason.
In 2020, Ebron appeared in 15 games for the Steelers and caught 56 passes for 558 yards receiving and five touchdowns.
