    I don't normally make threads like this but I think the JETS D would greatly benefit if they could get this guy at a good price. Here are his stats from the last 127 games:

    423 tackles
    43 1/2 sacks
    5 INT's
    16 FF
    11 FR
    Blocked 3 kicks

    Also he is 31 and could be good for a 2-3 year contract.

    Yes. He's not an ideal size to play DE for us, and he's not an accomplished pass rusher. Highly questionable fit.

    Ellis is 285. Some Bears fans will say this guy can't get it done but that is cuz they are bitter. I have watched just about every Bears game last year and he is very powerful that can still get up the field. Also playing on Rex's D can only make him better.

    Be careful what you say, guys. The Jets could sign him and then you'll be giving a grudging kudos to someone with a measley 111 posts.

    Agreed. I don't see us bringing him in.

    What does my post count have anything to do with it? I hope you don't honestly think that your knowledge of football is that much more spectacular because I have a life and you don't.

    Well, he's still talented, and I'm sure due diligence will be done, but I don't know how he'd fit in.

    I love it when people say "get a life" over the internet.

    -Too small to play DE
    -Doesn't know how to play OLB or move in space
    -Older and not likely to pick up such a radically new system so easily

    Pass

    Nah, lets get younger at the position, not older with a 4-3 DE

    Sign this too small, too old and not dynamic enough to learn a completely new position beast.

    I remember him coming out of Florida, he would have been a great fit then, but not at this point in his career.
