BeastMode54 Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 I thought they said he was improving? Not a big loss but man our LB core is awful
Fan in Chicago Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 I thought they said he was improving? Not a big loss but man our LB core is awful To make room for Shawn Nelson
gobillsinytown Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 I thought they said he was improving? Not a big loss but man our LB core is awful IF this is true, it shows that "big contract extensions" don't mean anything.
AllDayADay Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 I was a big hater on Chris Ellis, not only in the first game but when he bobbled that kick in Jets game. Was supposed to be athletic when we drafted him, he is not, was supposed to be good on special teams, he was not. Glad hes out of here.
apuszczalowski Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 But I thought it was a fact that McCargo was on his way out next????
Red Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Oh c'mon. Is this another high round draft pick, scouted by Modrak and Co. that was just cut? I'm getting sick of this. Why is Modrak not cut?

Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 IF this is true, it shows that "big contract extensions" don't mean anything. How? Ellis never received an extension.

Why is Modrak not cut? +1 Guys, 99% of top-100 selections that don't see the field their rookie years do not pan out. When Chris Ellis showed up, everyone called him a "project" who lacked NFL strength. Well, then why the HELL did we waste a 3rd round pick on him then? Get guys you think that can contribute now and use the 5-7 round selections on the projects. Oh c'mon. Is this another high round draft pick, scouted by Modrak and Co. that was just cut?

DPR4444 Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 good riddance. the sooner we shed the roster of past mistakes, the better

Players drafted that high need to contribute somewhat their first season.
Brand J Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 He should've been worth more than Reggie "beer belly" Torbor and certainly played at a level that wasn't inferior to Chris Kelsay. Ellis had a sack in the Miami game, more than Kelsay and Maybin has all season. John McCargo has been inactive every game, while Ellis has been on the field. Why cut an active player? Chan Gailey: "at the start of OTAs I thought he was just awful, but he has made, in my opinion, the biggest improvement of anyone on the roster. The guy can go out and play right now." Our staff can't evaluate talent worth a $***.
Tortured Soul Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Sorry, my bad......started typing before brain engaged Always keep the safety on.

Our staff can't evaluate talent worth a $***. I was thinking about that quote by Gailey about Ellis as well. Some things just don't add up. Either there are locker room things going on we don't know about, Gailey is bi-polar, or someone is forcing Gailey to make these moves.
KOKBILLS Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Interesting that Ellis had 5 Tackles and a Sack in the 1st Game...He's played less and less as the Defense has gotten worse and worse...And he's the one that gets cut...Anyone else find that a bit strange? I mean, it can be argued he had the best pre-season of any Player on our Defense...This is another in a long line of strange moves if you ask me...It's almost like they did this to shut everyone up about the Kelsay extension...Cause my thought was always that Kelsay should give way to Ellis, if only because Ellis was younger and needed more PT so the Bills could evaluate him...I don't know...
Smiley Dear Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 I really don't get how you cut Ellis before McCargo. How in the world is McCargo still on this team? He should have been cut in training camp.
