His looming suspension may be the reason the Saints (and others) are waiting to move on his contract.

He was the most productive run stuffer we had those couple years, and to put a guy like that in a reserve role is in fact quality depth.

He does not have a looming suspension, just a mere possibility of one.

Yep, i'll give you that. 30 and 37 combined tackles in two seasons, probably helped Ellis have better seasons. Ok, yeah, but prior to New Orleans he never notched more than 5 combined tackles. Last year in Minnesota he had 15 combined tackles.

So, I'm not sure about him.

I know what you mean there, but sometimes guys need to be in the right environment, where they are motivated to succeed. He did well here, so it's worth considering at a low price.

And this year's team should be nowhere close to that environment.

The environment I'm talking about is one of a winning team. He played for bad Dolphin teams before the Saints and played for a horrible Viking team last year.

I am not talking about bounty motivation. We all thought he was gonna suck when we signed him the first time, and it turned out pretty well. I don't know what's wrong with giving the guy a chance for what is gonna cost us next to nothing.
