Cowboys look to deal Ellis
Dallas Cowboys veteran outside linebacker Greg Ellis finally may get his wish to be traded or released by the club, as the Cowboys have reached out to at least two teams to measure interest in a deal, according to a club source.
AOL Fanhouse first reported the story Thursday evening, indicating the Cowboys had approached the New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals about a possible trade. Ellis has longtime ties to Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, who held the same position with the Cowboys.
Ellis, 33, did not participate in Thursday's organized team activities session. If the Cowboys release him, which seems the most likely result, they'll save the $4.15 million he's scheduled to make in 2009.
As it says in the article, its more likely at this point that ellis will be released than traded. But its yet another name i think the pats should look at. He would probably come with a cheap price tag, since he's closer to the end of his career then Tiniosomoa who was released earlier this month.

Wait for his release
and then get him. He is slowing down, but I still think he could contribute as a pass rush specialist.

I highly doubt we trade for him.
Look at his age and price tag. That’s essentially the same cost and age that we had in Mike Vrabel. Maybe we’ll take a look if he’s released.
