Ellis cut by Cowboys
ESPN.com news services

The Dallas Cowboys, perhaps wanting to avoid another offseason spat with Greg Ellis, released the Pro Bowl linebacker Tuesday.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had acknowledged last week that the 12th-year pro, who has a recent history of complaining about his role, his contract, or both, likely would be playing elsewhere this fall.

Ellis, the Cowboys' first-round pick in 1998, played in 162 games, starting 156 of them.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Bolded section is why I wouldn't touch him with a 10' pole. All we need is another guy who is gonna complain about his role or contract. Don't we have enough already?

I'm not sure we have any. The newspaper guys like to think so, but it seems when they're actually interviewed the players have other opinions... and dead dads.

Ah, quit complaining about your dead dad, Mr. Football Player.

I am thinking that makes it a no deal for TT.

Yah right! He wouldn't fit TT's '5 more years' plan.

Not sure what plan you mean? But here is goes anyway.

I think TT is still drafting and bringing in players according to his original plan when he was hired to "build through the draft". He hasnt done much in the FA market, but he has brought in Woodson, Pickett and Grant and they have worked out pretty well.

I know a lot of people think he should be fired or is on the hot seat this year. Maybe so, but he hasnt changes his M.O. yet and started the "Fuck the future, I am drafting and signing FA to save my job" plan like the Bears and the Vikings are doing.

One could argue TTT's mojo to be "it's all about the future"

TT should be fine through next year

If by chance.........and I don't believe they will...........crash again next year then he might belong on the hot seat.
