Free agent linebacker Greg Ellis will sign a three-year contract today with the Raiders, according to a source. Ellis visited the Raiders on Friday and agreed to the deal Sunday night.

Ellis spent his first 11 years in the NFL with the Cowboys before the team cut him two weeks ago to make room for Anthony Spencer. Ellis, who moved from defensive end to outside linebacker with the Cowboys in 2006, will go back to end with the Raiders.

The Cowboys and the Raiders play on Thanksgiving Day. Financial terms were not available.

Hope the Raiders come out of their decade slump. They have a reputation of taking on "has-beens" and discarded players who make good with them.

Ellis is a class act and still has a few years left in him. We wish him the best and great success.

Perfect fit! Another balck gang member joins the Raiders. I know that Al Davis (who thinks he is black) wants an all black football team by the end of 2010. Please Al, pick up Michael Vick, he would be an ideal addition. You can even have Bring your Pitbull to games for fighting and gambling during the game along with Kill Whitey songs during halftime!
