Jetfan13 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Ellis now says he'd consider Jets return. INDIANAPOLIS -- Rex Ryan admitted to losing the Jets locker room after the team missed the playoffs with a disappointing 8-8 season. “I don’t know if it surprised me when things go wrong it tends to shift a little bit, but I don’t have anything bad to say about those guys,” said defensive end Shaun Ellis, who played for the Jets from 2000-10 before signing with the Patriots this offseason. At Media Day on Tuesday, Ellis told ESPN.com the Jets showed no loyalty by offering him the veteran’s minimum contract in the offseason. That offer made Ellis’ decision to sign a one-year, $4 million deal with New England easy But Thursday, Ellis took a more friendly tone when discussing his former team and said he would consider coming back to New York. “Yeah, definitely, it’s still a business,” Ellis said as the Patriots prepare to play the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI. “It’s something I’d have to consider and make the best decision for me during the offseason. It’s definitely something I’d take a strong look at.” It would seem unlikely he would be back with the Patriots. Ellis has seen his playing time dwindle as the season has gone on. “I know this year it didn’t go exactly the way I wanted it to with the limited playing time and things like that,” Ellis said. Ellis had nothing but positive things to say about Ryan, who has come under fire after the Jets' tumultuous season “Rex is a tremendous coach, I had a tremendous time with him regardless of how the situation played out,” Ellis said. “He’s definitely someone that took my career to the next level, getting me to the AFC Championship game and a chance to compete for the Super Bowl.” But with the Patriots, Ellis will get a chance to actually compete in the Super Bowl.

Garb Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Ever think for a moment that thing are taken out of context and presented in the worst light possible.....because we all know how unbiased the sports media is! Yup, there is no agenda! Cimini, for example, is unbiased, not agenda driven and tries to present the facts without infusing his opinion. C'mon man! About the only thing I have read that I will take as "truth" is that the NFL is a business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointman Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Ellis, loved you man. But we aren't interested. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Ellis, loved you man. But we aren't interested. Thanks. This. I still think he was a very good player for the Jets for a long time and will always respect what he did here, despite his ridiculously douchey comments early in the week, but the truth is if there's any position the Jets don't need to be signing older veterans, it's the DL. I can't imagine there's any way the Jets don't re-sign Pouha, and him along with DeVito, Wilkerson, Dixon and Ellis are all locks for next year's team, with Pitoitua and a few others probably battling it out for the last spot or two. There's just no need there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg3 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 don't be so gloom. Shaun maybe Beli and Krafty will hand you another 4 million bucks for 14 more tackles next season.... After all, they handed big bucks to Albert Haynesworth and Chad Ochostinko so you probably have a shot with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Like I said in the other thread...there is loyalty in the NFL and he's playing for the most non-loyal team in the NFL. Bump that thread when's he cut by the Pats. Because it is 100% guaranteed to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightCash Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I love how he says the season hasn't gone the way he wanted, or whatever it was, a few days before playing in the Superbowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
