Well. No

Unless you're coaching or playing with Ellis, I don't think you can question his motivation.

We are talking about a guy who plays DT here. I'm not gushing over sacks from a DT. Haloti Nagta is arguably the best DT in the NFL and he had 5 sacks last year...

What we want from Ellis is to control the line of scrimmage? Can he do that with his size? I haven't seen it too often. BUT what he can do - as Danno pointed out - is rotate in and be a rushing DT (if there is such a thing) on passing downs.

League min. Prove it in camp. If not, no harm. I don't see why people are having issues with this.

I'm not so worried about his sack totals, either. It was supposed to be a big part of his game, to rush the passer, but I would never complain about him if he had been a good run stuffer. Or just been a solid space eater.

He is certainly not physically lacking. So that tells me he's not taking the game seriously enough. He has been consistently pushed around... And that is why I don't even want him around for depth. Unless he wakes up and starts playing like a man on a mission.

But that's one of those things where a change of scenery is probably the best thing for him. He's had his chance here. We'll see what the saints do, as this is only my opinion, and what I would do if I were making the decisions. I'm not, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

As much as i want to see him gone,we have all the cards for this deal.
1 year with a team option for a second for a small salary,incentives extension.The lack of offers this summer may well have lit a fire under his backside.The players have got used to getting deals elsewhere if the didnt play as well as they good.That has stopped,not many teams paying big bucks on long term deals for FA.
He is serviceable as a back up at the very least.Fill as many holes predraft then draft who you want,not who you need.

"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!

Why? Did they tow one of his expensive cars out of the parking lot

I really don't think Ellis is a good fit in the 3-4. He would be better served trying to sign with a team running the 4-3. With Dallas making the conversion, they could use a DT.
