Cowboys release 11-year veteran LB Ellis (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

The Dallas Cowboys have released Greg Ellis, ending the linebacker's career after 11 seasons and the eighth-most sacks in club history. Tuesday's announcement was no surprise. A week before, team owner Jerry Jones said the club was planning to cut Ellis if he couldn't be traded. The Cowboys bypassed Randy Moss to take Ellis with the eighth overall pick in the 1998 draft.
