Back in January, I wrote this piece pining for the Steelers to address their need for athleticism at the tight end position. Because we lacked an in-line player who could stretch the field vertically, the target of my affection was Indianapolis’ Eric Ebron. Ebron, when healthy, is one of the most dangerous tight end receiving threats in the league and would give the Steelers the elusive “move” tight end they’ve desired for years.
Many at the time speculated that Ebron would be too expensive for the Steelers given our salary cap predicament.
