The Cowboys have reportedly put OLB Greg Ellis on the trading block.
The report comes from NFL Fanhouse's Calvin Watkins, who doubles as a beat writer for the Dallas Morning News. Ellis, 34, is due to earn $4.15 million in the final year of his contract. He's been sent him home from OTAs, so the team is serious about dealing him to open up a starting spot for 2007 first-rounder Anthony Spencer. They Cowboys are targeting the Bengals and Patriots, though the Pats are said to have no interest.

Now I know we're all set for OLB with Bryan Thomas, Calvin Pace, and Vernon Gholston however, I looked up Ellis measurements and he's listed as 6 ft 6, weighing in at 270lbs. Could he possibly be a fit for a DE for us? We know he has the ability to get to the quarterback so perhaps the Jets will be in the running for him? Any thoughts on whether we should actively pursue Ellis? What would it take?
P.S. It would be pretty ironic/funny to have our bookends as the Ellis's.
