Yeah, because players as they near the end of their career don't take on different roles. If the Jets viewed Ellis as an every down player, they'd be offering more then the vet min to get a deal done.
Maybe because they aren't paranoid conspiracy theorists like you. You said the same shit about Marques Murrell and Woodhead.....
It's not about disrespect, it's about making the team better. Have you seen how Bellichick operates? Lawyer Milloy... great career for the Pats then fuck off and we still win the SB w/o you. Ty Law... fuck off and w're just as good. If teams went around keeping guys out of loyalty they wouldn't win very much. If Ellis doesn't fit into the plans it's not about disrespect, it's about we have somebody that fits into our plans better.
Your talking with Don... there is a reason he has that nice little award strapped around his profile. If Ellis signs with the Pats fuck him. He's now the enemy. I highly doubt it would be to pick his brain. It's not like trading a 7th round pick to the Lions for a 3rd string Pats QB who never saw the field for the team that traded for him.
It seems clear to me with that veterans minimum contract that the Jets either can take it or leave it with regards to him coming back, or know that he's not going to get a great offer and are confident he'll come back once he's made the rounds. As far as the Pats go, BB works out players every week and the percentage that ever sign is miniscule. The word up here is they had Channing Crowder in for a physical on Thursday. :rofl:
Maybe Belly is looking for some trash talk lessons. The again Belly's teams at least back it up on the field. Then again maybe he felt the team needed some comedic relief during TC so he brought in this clown to give it to them.
I don't understand how he could do this. I'd think if anyone had a sense of allegiance, it'd be Shaun. How do you go from hating a team for 10 years to joining them voluntarily? I understand that it's a business, yada yada, but this feels so wrong.
all good. thanks for the memories Ellis. Nothing but love from me brother http://www.nfl.com/videos/new-york-jets/09000d5d800f32f4/Jets-17-Patriots-14 still my favorite sean ellis performance.
