Am I missing something here? Didn't the K.C. Chiefs just sign there top draft pick Glenn Dorsey two days ago? Wasn't he a higher pick at the same position than Saints 1st round draft pick Sedrick Ellis? Then can you also tell me why it has taken the team this long to sign Ellis and get him into camp?
There is no excuse for him not to have signed on the dotted line already. Players drafted in front and behind him have been signed by their respective teams. I'm baffled as to why the Saints haven't gotten this done already. I do however know from the look on coach Sean Paytons face every press conference when asked questions about Ellis status, he's not happy about it.
Ellis is expected to be a starter on a defensive line that was good against the run but struggled to ever put any pressure on opposing QB's. That's what they drafted Ellis for. He's strong and explosive throught the middle. He'll demand double teams at times which could free up DE's Will Smith,Charles Grant and new comer Bobby McRay.
The longer he misses camp the more the Saints are at fault for any and all mistakes he makes this season. They're dragging their feet in the mud and there is simply no justification as to why. I know he'll get signed my question is only why has it already taken two days going into the third that they've not gotten him under contract.
The Saints need to get him under contact and in camp a soon as possible. Hollis Thomas isn't starter material we need some speed through the middle. Ellis can provide that and I'm anxious to see him in camp and what he might be bringing to the team. There's no doubt in my mind he'll be a candidate for DROY this season. Which can mean only one thing for this Saints fan...I'm thinking "Black and Gold Super Bowl!"
I feel your pain brother. Last time I heard, the Bucs were still trying to sign Jackson and we need all the help at receiver we can get. I heard Deuce tweeked his knee, I hope it's not serious. I want to see both teams at full strength when they play. Good Luck!
There is just no excuse for it in my honest opinion.
Deuce didn't tweak his knee it was just swelling caused from the workouts. He's actually looking pretty good in camp. He lost some weight also and that helps him out also. Good Luck to your Buc's also.
Of course mgmt is "mum's the word" on this and why...My gut tells me that they spent too much this season, and while he's looking for the guaranteed money, they're stiffing him, which makes him look like the bad guy.
Read in the Picayune that C.Grant has also lost some weight, which takes pressure off the touchy ankle he has. And what's up w/ McKenzie back in pads so early!!! Glad to see that!!!
That could very well be possible that they spent more than they should have.
Yeah Grant has lost weight and looks good. McKenzie has returned and practised on a limited basis. He'll be going at it hard soon which is good Since Porter pulled a muscle in his leg because he might be out a few days.
Here is what I know from the Ellis mess, they were waiting for the top draft picks before him to get signed and determined what they will offer him, it just seem Ellis wants outrageous mony, like a top 3 pick. His agent no other thna drew Rosenthaul and its about as much as he can get before the new collective bargaining agreement kicks in, which will limit rookie pay.
Well he's signed as of this evening. About time in my opinion. Oh and Y2Q29 you was sort of right. It had to do with the collective bargaining agreement.
The perfect breakfast as I see it.
