It's easy, and only takes a few moments.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.

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

He'll have McNabb to take the heat off him.If he thinks our fans are tough... he's gonna be really shocked when he gets to Philly.
Good luck, Ellis. Thanks for everything.

A good interview, Philly is getting a good kid.
I read a year or so ago that Hobbs didn't like Boston and wouldn't be re-signing. I would have liked to think we could have gotten more, even with him just having a year left, but with the FA signees and draftees (this year and last), he won't be missed IMO. As the players say . . . it's a business.Didn't read the interview yet...but the excerpts...I like Ellis..thought he did play through injuries..and gave 110%...BUT..I didn't think also he would take hometwon money..and knew that most likely he would be gone after this season.
