Reports surfaced earlier this week that Dannell Ellerbe will be released by the New Orleans Saints once he returns from injured reserve. It seems he’ll end his short tenure as just another misguided acquisition by the New Orleans Saints.
Ellerbe arrived in New Orleans via trade with the Miami Dolphins in 2015. The Saints gave away their young up-and-coming wide out, Kenny Stills (while still on a cheap rookie contract), for an oft-injured Ellerbe and a third-round pick.
The Dolphins had actually planned to cut Ellerbe if no trade agreement could be reached.
