Last week it was announced that the Cowboys would either trade or release Ellis which is news that is not shocking considering how many LBs they drafted in April. The move saves Dallas $4.5 million dollars in cap room and gives Anthony Spencer the opportunity to start after being drafted in 2007.
Ellis long ago worn out his stay in Dallas after continuing to battle the front office over his contract the last several years. Some people in the media will tell you that Greg was a good leader and clubhouse guy, which could be true, but he was constantly whining about something each of the last 3 off-seasons. Ellis will always be known most for being picked in the 1998 draft instead of Randy Moss. A goof that Moss did not let Mr. Jones forget each and every time the Cowboys played the Vikings in the years after that draft.
