New Orleans Saints cut Dannell Ellerbe's base salary by $7.4 million
New Orleans Saints linebacker Dannell Ellerbe, acquired last week in a trade for Kenny Stills, agreed to slice his 2015 base salary by more than $7 million, according to NFLPA records. Ellerbe's base salary will be $1.1 million instead of $8.5 million in 2015. He also agreed to amend his 2016 salary from $6.45 million to $4.1 million and his 2017 salary from $6 million to $4.1 million, records show. Ellerbe does not appear to have any significant bonuses in 2015, except for $100,000 in what is likely a workout bonus. blah blah blah The Saints have $2.89 million in space under the 2015 salary cap, according to the NFLPA. That's enough to add the contract of new running back C.J. Spiller. New Orleans Saints cut Dannell Ellerbe's base salary by $7.4 million | NOLA.com :bng: |

1 year tryout?

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

All Hail Loomis

Re: Saints cut Ellerbe's base salary by $7.4 million
I really hope this guy can come in and make a big difference. But I really hope we draft a good ILB.

Re: Saints cut Ellerbe's base salary by $7.4 million
How does a guy take that much cut in base?

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

Re: Saints cut Ellerbe's base salary by $7.4 million
Before last week, I really thought mgmt had taken a mediocrity is acceptable approach. I'm so happy with what they have done to this point especially landing Unger and more draft picks. Hope they hit on a couple of these picks if they keep them, history shows that this team tends to move around in the draft so I can't wait to see what happens. I was so down after week 17 but right now I'm so pumped for the season to begin and the draft hasn't happened yet

Ellerbe was a dud in Miami. But worst case, he's equivalent to Lofton.
Ireland must really trust Ellerbe. |

Okay, I was incorrect. One good season, one entire season injured:

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. |
Re: Saints cut Ellerbe's base salary by $7.4 million
#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!! |

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! |

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?

NFL network says we are a franchise without a plan. They're a Network without a plan.
