Re: Saints cut Ellerbe's base salary by $7.4 million

The title of this thread needs to be changed to Loomis coerces Miami to cut Ellerbe's base salary by $7.4 million.

What a frickin' great move!

Re: Saints cut Ellerbe's base salary by $7.4 million

Ellerbe is a veteran coming back to a 3-4 playing on the inside where he belongs according to what I've read. If he can cover better than Lofton then we've addressed a problem area.

Regardless there are several good ILB'ers in the draft and I want two of them. We need to fix our triangle in a 3-4 and get that big NT(Shelton) and both ILB'ers who can play their assignments with their natural skill set. I'm tired of moving players around because they don't exactly fit the role.

#Loomising is real.

So if Ellerbe can replicate even his 2013 season as ILB, we'll be okay.

Draft OLB, ILB, OL and WR baby!!

Yeah, but isn't that essentially what happened with Graham?

Re: Saints cut Ellerbe's base salary by $7.4 million

Knowing now what we're facing with the cap issue I am all aboard on every trade (Kenny Stills & Jimmy Graham) Ellerbe willing to take a pay cut really make this deal sweet now if he can return to his form when he was in a 3/4 defense with the Ravens that will be the cherry on top. The only question I would like to asnwered, would we been able to sign him when he was cut by Miami and kept Kenny Stills?
