More on Ellis Contract Details

We recently found out Greg Ellis received a new contract, but more of a tweaking of his original contract. This new contract was initiated by Jerry Jones, and just continues to show his willingness to make his players happy to play for him. With Ellis on the field against the Rams, it kinda makes you wonder if this whole injury thing was being overdone in order to leverage a better contract for Ellis. Whichever it is, I’m glad Ellis is back, he was an immediate impact in his debut. With Ellis back, I expect Ware’s sacks to jump up. Here’s what Jerry said about the redone contract:

“This was not a conventional redo on a contract,” Jones said. “Greg had an insurance policy that had some pretty tight terms in there, that should he come back and play, when he came back and played, he had four games to evaluate and see if his injury was going to be potentially a career-ending injury. If it were, he had potentially quite a settlement coming from his insurance company and if it were not then forever hold your peace. So he had really been very cautious and conservative in coming back. That injury can be a year in healing, but can heal quicker than that, and hopefully in his case it has.

“Bottom line, we were able to do some things to take care of the risk he might have had on the policy and he was able to get out there earlier than he would have – and make no mistake about it, he still has some pain, and it was not easy for him to go back out there Sunday but it really paid off. He’s farther ahead and we’re farther ahead that we have him on the field.” (DC.com)

QB Coach Wade Wilson has one more week, and he’ll be back. Time sure goes by fast when we’re having fun and winning. It’ll be good to have Wilson back.

Cowboys quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson has one more week to serve on his five-game suspension, and is chomping at the bit to get back to work. And he hasn’t been just wasting away the time the past four weeks, saying he’s been volunteering his time to help coach the junior high team his son plays on in Dallas. (Mick Shots)
