The new league year only just began this past Wednesday, but it already feels like forever ago for Detroit Lions fans.
The unexpected release of starting tight end Eric Ebron and as of yet, no major moves subsequent to his release have only heightened the levels of anticipation and frustration.
General manager, Bob Quinn has spoiled the local fanbase for the past two seasons by spending big early in free agency. In 2016, Detroit sprang for Marvin Jones, the best receiver on the market that year.
The next season, Detroit set the market at right tackle by making Rick Wagner the highest paid player at the position in the NFL.
