Wait, he's a UFA or RFA? This was a contract year and he (gasp) sucked? Wow.

Man I was so hyped when we got him. Dammit...

The younger guys outplayed Sed all year. He should have been on the pine.

Just the fact that Ellis started over Hicks in the last half of the season had me questioning Spags.
Thanks for nothing!

True, the article doesn't mention "releasing" anyone. It accurately states that we wouldn't bring Ellis back.

The title doesn't really match the article at all.

They should be releasing more then one player on that defense

Me too. A shame he didn't turn out better. Had he been a 3-4th rounder his production would be adequate.
