Greg Ellis is Interested in Playing for Carolina

It sounds like he could still be on the market next month so if we have a little left over after signing our draft picks, we should consider bringing him in assuming he is willing to play for only 1.5-2.5 million because that is the most we can afford to pay (if that).

why? our LB corp is nothing to complain about, and he has been in the league for 11 yrs already.

He is a natural DE. He was moved to LB when Dallas switched to a 3-4 defense. He never liked it, and prefers to play DE. You can never have too many good linemen.

unless he moves to DT..i say we have too many DE..that will not be here long we need to get young players that can give us that pass rush we need.

big mixed feelings about this one. love the experience factor he would bring. i don't see him as being a long term solution and i think i would rather see us develop our other DEs...get the future bookends, johnson and brown as much PT as possible.

as far as moving him to DT...maybe on passing downs. i don't know. he's same height but about 20 pounds lighter than brayton. not sure about that going against the interior and not sure he would like that anymore than being an OLB. still, he would be solid for a year, maybe 2...and something that we would need if peppers isn't here which he most likely will be. peppers could stand to have someone here he looks up to, though.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
