bubba9497 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/features/rumors Click link for entire article Greg Ellis out in Dallas? Greg Ellis has had 77 sacks for the Cowboys since 1998. But it's about money -- not loyalty -- so the Cowboy are looking to let him go and save some cash. The Cowboys are looking to trade or release the 33-year-old Ellis, according to The Morning News, because a trade would free up $5 million and releasing him would free up $4.15 million -- Ellis is guaranteed $1.5 million. They drafted Texas Tech's Brandon Williams and Oregon State's Victor Butler in last month's draft, both of whom play on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba9497 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4199484 Click link for entire article Source: Dallas seeking deal for Ellis By Matt Mosley ESPN.com DALLAS -- Dallas Cowboys veteran outside linebacker Greg Ellis finally may get his wish to be traded or released by the club, as the Cowboys have reached out to at least two teams to measure interest in a deal, according to a club source. Wade Phillips on 2009 season Cowboys coach Wade Phillips looks ahead to the 2009 season. AOL Fanhouse first reported the story Thursday evening, indicating the Cowboys had approached the New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals about a possible trade. Ellis has longtime ties to Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, who held the same position with the Cowboys. Ellis, 33, did not participate in Thursday's organized team activities session. If the Cowboys release him, which seems the most likely result, they'll save the $4.15 million he's scheduled to make in 2009. Ellis' agent, James Williams, told The Dallas Morning News on Thursday that his client was "looking forward to being a Dallas Cowboy [in 2009]," but that his future was out of their hands. Ellis has grumbled about his role on the team ever since Bill Parcells moved him from defensive end to outside linebacker in 2006, but he hasn't said anything this offseason. Last year, the Cowboys were set to make Anthony Spencer the starter ahead of Ellis, but Spencer couldn't stay on the field because of injuries. In last month's draft, the Cowboys focused on players who could help them on the pass rush, so Ellis' status became even more tenuous. Ellis, a former first-round pick, spent eight years at defensive end before being moved to outside linebacker. He excelled at the position and was having a solid season in 2006 when he ruptured his Achilles tendon against the Arizona Cardinals, an injury that contributed to the Cowboys' late-season struggles. He bounced back to have 12.5 sacks in 2007 and made his first Pro Bowl appearance. If he's released, the Bengals, Patriots and Miami Dolphins could be likely destinations.

@DCGoldPants Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Well. We need LB help. I know Dallas players coming here usually don't work. Especially with big deals. But.....I wouldn't hate this..... It would allow #98 to play more DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Rookie: If I'm not mistaken, the Cowboys have won the NFC East 19 times out of 41 (if you include the times when it was called the 'capital division'). Considering that there were usually 5 teams in the division to compete against and only 41 opportunities, you might want to rethink your "doesn't happen very often..." statement.
