    I trust Bowles and clearly he didn't see something worth the money.

    This sucks but again, I'm trusting our Head Coach

    I don't think we cared as much as the Giants did for this one

    1 year deal... doesn't sound like anybody really wanted him.

    Anyone else worried that we might lose Snacks to a team who is willing to give up their 2nd rounder? Perhaps a late 2nd rounder...

    Gonna trust the new regime on this decision. But I thought Ellis was a good player

    Damn. Great pickup for the Giants. Would have loved to keep him for depth at least.

    Kinda bummed. Was always rooting for that guy to plug up the middle for us for years and he just never got there.

    Not a bad pickup for the Giants.

    Pretty much my sentiments as well - was hoping he would be a fixture here. Remember his very solid showing in the Senior Bowl (weaing those white gloves) and recall Cimini's beyond the pale, snide "druggie" comment upon his being picked in the 3rd out of Hampton and with that dubious assult charge hanging over his head. Like the guy and despite the signing, I wish him well in the long run.

    sucks we didn't see Ellis become the guy we hoped he would become here w/ the Jets.

    See you at JETLIFE Stadium next season Ellis.

    My guess is he was looking for a 1 year deal where he could start. Probably feels like he can really boost his value for next offseason somewhere he can play a more prominent role. Just a guess.

    He'll probably get more snaps in a 4-3.

    I'll enjoy watching him next season.

    For that price we should have kept him.

    good move by Giants.
    we need to bring Douzable back now...

    on a side note, remember Cimini's deuche comments when Ellis was drafted?
    something about classless Jets taking on a criminal thug.........wonder if he'll sing the same tune for the Giants, or actually admit he was wrong.
    i'll bet neither.. why have accountability in journalism?
