D finally takes anticipated hit... From "The REAL Feed":

Ellis' 11-year Cowboys career officially over after he's released by team (http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d810a03e3&template=without-video-with-comments&confirm=true)

The Cowboys released Greg Ellis on Tuesday, ending the linebacker's tenure in Dallas after 11 seasons and the eighth-most sacks in club history.

Call me crazy, but this guy's still got some gas left in the tank... after a fantastic '07 and solid '08,... moreover, in a 4-3 D that really didn't suit him!
