I know the guy is old, but he had 7 sacks and 2 ff last year. Maybe if the price is right we can bring him in as a situational pass rusher from the DE. http://www.mercurynews.com/raiders/ci_14637995?nclick_check=1
Honestly, Ellis may have his best years behind him, but he was a very solid SOLB for the Cowboys for years. If he can be had for cheap, I wouldn't mind bringing him in for depth. Problem is, you can bet he's looking for a starting job. And if he can't get one, he probably ends up back with Dallas or with Parcells in Miami.
I don't want him long term, if we lose Douglas we don't have very much depth. Plus we don't have a lot of draft picks. I hope we take a DE come April, I just wouldn't mind having an extra guy that we can sign and not lose a FA
who would you rather have greg ellis or adalius thomas for depth. i think thomas has a little bit more juice left in him and could be more productive. I doubt we ever sign both.
Thomas as of right now is not cut, therefor we can't sign him. If we had the choice between the two I vote for Thomas, but as of right now he isn't an option.
Hey Cato, I called it, told you! He is too long in the tooth. Maybe if he comes cheap and will take a secondary/tertiary role.
If we signed Adalius Thomas, I doubt it would be as a depth player. I'd definitely rather have AT, but I sincerely doubt that Belichick will simply cut the guy and let him go to a division rival.
That's totally incorrect the word tertiary has appeared on this board 7 times before his posts sicne the server crash of 2006.

Hey it was you Mick....... lol I told you there would be an Ellis thread......hahahaha. Thought it was Cato. Sorry.
1. Ellis is 4-3 DE, not 3-4 DE. He hated OLB job. Perish the thought of him in Green and White. 2. Learn to think, people. Other than the secondaries, the role of the defenders is starkly different. DE in 3-4 is two-gapping DL, while 4-3 DE is more often than not, one-gapping, and that's usually referring to the outside. Hell, 4-3 DTs are one-gapping at times (That's what Dslob was good for actually, and that's what made Haynesworth a gazillionaire. He hates two-gapping responsibility though.)
However one of those was not by a poster and was embedded in a newstory [/junc] LMAO how did I miss this?
