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

[TenandSix:Unacceptable]

I think they said he will most likely be released.

Vet minimum.

First.

Harkening back to last season, if the Skins lose two OLB's to major injuries on the first day of training camp, Greg Ellis will be acquired immediately.

Other than that, I'd be surprised...

I think Ellis is more of a DE and a rush 3-4 OLB than an OLB in our scheme. He would just be taking snaps away from Orakpo and I think Orakpo needs them to learn the position.

Great point. This is another reason why we probably wont try to get him. In a 4-3 he would be better at DE instead of OLB. Most of his career he was a 4-3 end for the Cowboys. If the Skins decided if he was released to try him as a 4-3 OLB for cheap id say why not. I dont think there is any chance we sign him if hes released as a 4-3 end because we already got alot of DEs on the roster. So the odds of us getting him are slim to none.

I still think he is a damn good player though.

Indeed. He would then proceed to have his worst year ever as a pro, leave after one lollygagging season...and diss the hell out of the 'Skins organization, coaches and most of the players.

Hmm. Now where have I seen that before?
