The last time the Pittsburgh Steelers threw money at the tight end position, it didn’t really work out so well. In fact, Ladarius Green started his lone season on the roster on the Physically Unable to Perform List due to an ankle injury from the previous season that had not healed as the team expected that it would.
While his career was ultimately ended by a serious concussion—which was also a pre-existing concern prior to signing—the fact that Eric Ebron also has an injury history and in fact had ankle surgery last year may send some bad thoughts running through the minds of fans.
