I don't understand when people get upset that a certain player doesn't sign with them. Also, why do people keep saying on this board "he cares about more money than championships?" Last time I checked, the Pats haven't won the super bowl since 2004. Signing with New England isn't a lock but it does increase one's chance. I think a more accurate thing to say is " he cares more about money than having a chance to win a championship".
*If anything, this really bums me out because obviously the Pats don't feel comfortable with what they have at LB. I'm pretty sure we will see a trade during training camp for an OLB. Also, I don't think money had much to do with it because Ellis hated playing in a 3-4. In fact, he was pissed when Parcells wanted him to play LB. Anyways, Ellis is a better fit in a 4-3.
