Saints cut Ellerbe's base salary by $7.4 million

lee909 · 03-17-2015, 08:34 AM

Be interested too see what guaranteed money and bonuses are there.

Either way i liked the trade. I really respect the Ravens(not Model) but the way the teams is run and the way they had the vets in the locker room that kept everything in check and kept them hungry and fighting each year. Wether you liked Ray Lewis or not he lead that team well,as did Reed. Im hoping some of that experience rubbed off on Ellerbe and he can take that role with Browner can give this defense some grit. If Fig Newton tried that cr@p he pulled in the endzone last year i have a feeling that he would be picking the grass out his teeth on the next play.

Im really hoping this team starts getting the rep of a nasty team. i don't want to be a team that people like,i want to be a team people ont want to play

It's nice to see Ellerbe excited to play for the Saints and willing to help out to make the team better

If he starts, he either proved his worth, or the Saints missed in the draft. He was quality player for the Ravens but he had alot of talent around him.

If he doesn't start, then this trade was a waste. Stills obviously pissed SP at some point, but he was was certainly cap-friendly.

I really hope this guy can come in and make a big difference. But I really hope we draft a good ILB.

How does a guy take that much cut in base?
