Sedrick Ellis and New Orleans Saints agree to contract
July 29, 2008
Posted by Mike Triplett, The Times-Picayune July 29, 2008 7:25PMFirst-round pick Sedrick Ellis agreed to a five-year deal with the Saints, General Manager Mickey Loomis confirmed. He will arrive in camp tomorrow.
Terms of the deal were not immediately available. Ellis’ agent, Eugene Parker, said his client remained patient and confident throughout the process, while continuing to stay in shape in Tampa, Fla., at the same facility where he trained for his pre-draft workouts.
Parker declined to get into the specifics of the negotiations, but he said some of the difficulty stemmed from the future salary-cap issues facing the league, with the possibility that the owners may opt out of the current collective bargaining agreement.
Loomis is expected to speak this evening.
