Cowboys release Ellis
The Dallas Cowboys have released Greg Ellis, ending the linebacker’s career after 11 seasons and the eighth-most sacks in club history.
IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys have released Greg Ellis, ending the linebacker’s career after 11 seasons and the eighth-most sacks in club history.
Tuesday’s announcement was no surprise. A week before, team owner Jerry Jones said the club was planning to cut Ellis if he couldn’t be traded.
The Cowboys bypassed Randy Moss to take Ellis with the eighth overall pick in the 1998 draft. He had 77 sacks and 634 tackles over 162 games and led the team in sacks six times.
