ProFootballTalk.com - Greg Ellis Picks The Raiders
Pretty funny one. Not like even we as fans don't make these kind of cracks about Patriots signees.

Former Cowboys linebacker/defensive end Greg Ellis, whom some linked to the Patriots because: (1) he can play outside linebacker in the 3-4; and (2) he’s over 30, will sign with the Raiders, according to Calvin Watkins of FanHouse.
It’s a three-year deal, and it’ll be signed later today.
Ellis reportedly visited the Raiders on Friday, and he agreed to terms Sunday night.
We thought Ellis might land in Cincinnati, where former Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer now arranges the X’s.
Since the Raiders primarily run a 4-3 defense, Ellis likely will play defensive end exclusively — further greasing the skids of Derrick Burgess’ exit, possibly via trade to the Patriots.
After all, Burgess can play outside linebacker in the 3-4, and he’s over 30.
