The Detroit Lions reportedly fielded calls for Eric Ebron, but Jim Caldwell says the realistic possibility of a trade was exaggerated.

"We didn't expect him to go anywhere," Caldwell said. "Because it's in the paper, because you guys talk about it, doesn't make it a fact. OK? So, take that for what it's worth.

"Some guys just kind of toss names out there just to be tossing them out. They have no information to back it up. So, we don't need to go into any long diatribe, reacting to what you guys wrote or what you guys reported. We basically just kind of treat it as is, and we're on to the next game."

Ebron has just 15 receptions for 160 yards and one touchdown through seven games.
