Honestly, I had never heard of this guy, but by all reports this was a big "coup" for us. Is he better than Dansby? He never started 16 games in any season ....

Dansby was grossly overpaid, another example of paying a maybe at best top ten guy top 3 money.. Ireland's M.O

Ellerbee had 4.5 sacks and 2 forced fumbles last year after replacing Ray Lewis. Dansby had 6 sacks in 3 years with the Phins. He also finished 2nd on the Ravens in tackles even though he only played 13 games. I like the signing.

Good signing.

The Ravens wanted to keep him, that says a lot. Dude was a baller in the playoffs & Super Bowl. He rejected the Ravens offer to stay there - I guess we can thank Joe Flacco for Ellerbe...Hey Joe Flacco, thanks a bunch!
