Cowboys will not keep Ellis

Football Betting Lines

05/26/2009 - Carrollton, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dallas Cowboys linebacker Greg Ellis will not be with the team for the upcoming season.

Earlier in the off-season, Ellis told reporters he was told that Anthony Spencer would be put ahead of him on the depth chart. He has expressed concern about his diminishing role with the team and the status of his contract.

Should the Cowboys release him, the team would save about $4.15 million on the cap, while a trade would save them more than $5 million since the team would not have to pay a $1.5 million guaranteed bonus.

Ellis, 33, has been with the team since being drafted in the first round in 1998. He had eight sacks last year and 77 for his career. In 2007, he won NFL Comeback Player of the Year as he recorded 12 1/2 sacks after recovering from a torn Achilles tendon that limited him to nine games in 2006.

He has also added 504 tackles, four interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, 46 passes defensed and 20 forced fumbles.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
