I think this might be our answer for OLB... (Greg Ellis?)

[skins89moss]

We should not even think of giving Dallas a draft pick for Ellis. If he is released then lets talk to him and see what his price range is. As far as his postion he is more effective rushing the passer from the DE spot. He could be a upgrade over Wynn. If he doesnt work out In camp you dont lose a draft pick. NOOOO to a Trade or Draft pick.

Brady popinga he might be cut by the packers cause they're switchng to a 3-4 D

What about signing Leroy Hill from Seattle. He was franchised by the Seahawks for a good reason but once they drafted Aaron Curry they went into a different direction. Hill must have enough talent for a team to waste a franchise tag.

LeRoy Hill-LB- Seahawks Apr. 30 - 8:16 pm et

Seahawks agreed to terms with LB LeRoy Hill on a six-year, $38 million contract. The deal includes $15.5 million guaranteed.

The Seahawks gambled when they lifted Hill's franchise tag after drafting Aaron Curry, but the tactic succeeded in getting Hill to sign a deal similar to the one he previously rejected. Still, after Curry signs his rookie contract in the $65 million range this will be one of the league's priciest LB trios. Offseason improvements on the line in front of them help, but linebackers are considered dependent players in the league, and Hill is undersizeed at just 6'1/238. It's hard to like this deal.

please god no! I'm backkkk!

Time to pick him up with a one or two yr contract. You can never have too much front seven and he would be the icing on the cake, imo. With all the versatility it would give us, we could really cause match-up nightmares.

Orakpo, him and AH providing the rush? Me likey.

Doesn't Greg Ellis hate playing LB?

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

wouldnt he work as a de as well. why be scared to dign him because he doesnt like lb? The guy can play with his hand in the ground and he could also be a decent lb in situations. I dont know if he is the answer a slb though, but maybe between rak and ellis they could make a solid lb de combo.

[LandrySlice]

Screw Ellis, we don't need anymore old ass legends in town, lets keep it young!

[mrreddman]

id take him over wynn....dats for sure..

I don't understand why anyone isn't interested. Isn't there a such thing as a 1 year contract? There is no such thing as too many good players. There is a gap in our SLB position and Ellis could tutor Rak. If he finishes his contract i think he's due a bit of money though. That may pose a problem. If we have the money i see little drawbacks.

Take a look at the track record of the Ellis. The guy is always complaining. Do you think he wants to play for the minimum? All we would have going for us is he might want to stick it to the Cowboys.

Some of you guys must be young. There is no picking up Cowboys. Period. George Allen would turn over in his grave. My how times have changed.

My feelings exactly, though a footnote to that would be Calvin Hill (I'm not counting the Norvell era when free agency had everything twisted).
