ProFootballTalk.com - Cowboys Are Shopping Greg Ellis

The Dallas Cowboys have placed linebacker Greg Ellis on the trading block, according to Calvin Watkins of FanHouse.com.

Ellis, a first-round pick in 1998, is due to earn a base salary of $4.15 million in 2009. He has a cap number of $6.25 million.

Watkins says that the Cowboys have targeted New England and Cincinnati as potential destinations, but that the Pats aren’t interested.

Maybe they're confident because we have that mini camp stud Crable?

I'm kidding.

Considering the Pats cap situation and Ellis having a $4.15 million base salary, I would say that lack of interest is a given.

Though I am sure somebody will say that the Pats saying they are not interested is a smokescreen and the trade will surely take place within a week.

I was going to make fun of a source with a name like fanhouse.com, so I checked it and saw some legit writers on its roster.

Turns out Calvin Watkins is the NFL beat writer on a Dallas paper, so he's got cred on Cowboys news.

New journalism - can't tell the players without a scorecard.

Why would the Pats want to deal with this....they have plenty of picks in the 2009 NFL draft and will be addressing the OLB position then.

Oopsie....my bad.

I thought he was pretty good... I think the Pats are expecting him to get cut, and then hopefully might make a move.

6'6"
262
3-4 OLB

2008 - 16 games - 8 sacks - 36 tackles
2007 - 13 games - 12.5 sacks - 31 tackles

If they didn't trade for the cheaper Burgess why would they trade for the older, more expensive Ellis, and possibly unfamiliar with the system Ellis?
