I think with that situation [in New England] there are a lot of guys that are coming up that are going to need to be paid. I think it has kind of moved from that echelon where there is a lot of guys out there who are not going to take the [bottom] dollar for the win. Guys really want to get what they deserve and each one of those guys that are coming up in the next year or so deserve every dollar they are going to get.

And there you have it.

Especially, some of the situations that I’ve been in as far as playing through injuries, a torn shoulder, a torn groin all of the way throughout the season, and this and that. To take some of the blows that I did from the area and the community and to put it on the line day in and day out when I know some other guys were not doing that and to get the money you get, you are definitely not happy with it.

I don't count that as whining, because he went on immediately to point out that he makes a lot of money even so.

A good interview, Philly is getting a good kid.

If he thinks our fans are tough... he's gonna be really shocked when he gets to Philly.

Good luck, Ellis. Thanks for everything.

Yup, he addressed a couple different perspectives and showed some nice balance in his response.

He'll have McNabb to take the heat off him.

I agree. I really liked Ellis. I thought he was a very solid player. He will be missed ( by some of us).

Very true. It's brutal down here though. I wish him all the best.
