DMN Blog: Good-bye, Greg Ellis?

By Tim MacMahon

The Cowboys are considering cutting or trading Greg Ellis, who didn't participate in today's OTA workout.

Todd Archer has more info here.

Ellis has been concerned about his job security since he moved from defensive end to outside linebacker a few years ago. The Cowboys using consecutive first-round picks on OLBs Bobby Carpenter (since moved inside) and Anthony Spencer certainly didn't put his mind at ease.

After the Cowboys picked a pair of edge pass rushers in the fourth round last month, Jerry Jones declined to discuss whether Ellis fit in the Cowboys' immediate future.

"Right now," Jerry said at the time, "he's on the roster."

That might not be the case much longer.
