#1. Ellis is more of a DE as you said.
#2. His old butt would probably have trouble keeping up with the TE's as a SLB.
#3. Simply to make that side difficult for offenses to deal with I would put Ellis at DE and Orakpo at SLB. Orakpo is a lot younger and probably faster to chase down the TE's if need be and yet still be apart of a Blitz on that side if needed.
#4. I would not trade for him. Wait it out. I'm betting other teams are waiting for him to be let go. Then give him decent money for a 1 or 2 yr deal. Hopefully by then we would have his replacement.
