I'd like to see Crable actually make the active roster on gameday. Let's get him to that point before we start talking about him starting.
Joe Reedy, of The Cincinnati Enquirer, reports the Cincinnati Bengals likely will not sign unrestricted free-agent LB Greg Ellis (Cowboys).
Some good news for those (like me) in the Sign Greg Ellis crowd:

Now that the $4mm price tag is gone, I imagine the level of interest has increased.
There will be lots of opportunities for Ellis. New England (not on the list of teams with ties to Ellis, based on coaching or former team-mates on the roster) should be a good opportunity, with a solid rotation but a need for a good pass-rusher. Ellis playing opposite Thomas would be a very strong tandem.
The statement about not uprooting his family is a concern, although there aren't many other NFL teams in the Dallas area. But Houston or Kansas City would offer an easier option for spending Mondays with his family.
As a week passes and there are no headlines on Ellis, I think the odds of him sneaking into New England increase.
That means that no one snapped him up, so there appears to be little competition for a high salary.
That also means that no team that handles things a little more publicly has been involved.
So, I'm a little more optimistic about the Pats' interest in Ellis now than a week ago.
Also, since it sounds like Redd isn't making the cut, a rotation with Thomas & Crable on one side and Woods and Ellis on the other is very attractive.
