Looks like Brace is a goner if Ellis still has a good year left in him.

I've always like Ellis. Interesting note: I think Ellis was the player selected with the 1st round pick that the Patriots gave up for hiring BB.

I may be wrong about that but that is how I recall it.

Can he stop the run?

Ganggreen is losing it.

Why do you say that? The Pats still need depth on the D-line. Adding Ellis doesn't change that. Deaderick hasn't proved himself to be better than anyone.

You are correct. This was mentioned when Ellis first came in for a visit.

This is a good move. Haynesworth is not exactly the star of camp so far and
Ellis brings familiarity of the Jets.

The Jets get told FU once more.

Patriots agreed to terms with DE Shaun Ellis, formerly of the Jets.

Offered the veteran's minimum by the Jets, it's unclear if Ellis' Patriots contract includes any guaranteed money. Ellis had clearly lost a step last season, but as evidenced by his monster playoff performance against the team he is now joining, he can still be a productive player. He's an excellent depth signing for what should be an improved Patriots' defensive line.

Love this signing! Ellis absolutely DESTROYED us and our O-Line in that Divisional Game. 1 year deal, he has plenty left in the tank!

I agree DaBruinz, too early for anyone to give up on Brace, he's showed some flashes and he provides great depth.
