The Oakland Raiders and ex-Cowboys defensive end Greg Ellis have agreed to terms on a contract today, but Ellis has yet to sign.

Ellis is 33 years old and has played for the Dallas Cowboys for all 11 of his NFL seasons.  Ellis can play both linebacker and defensive end.  The Raiders will most likely use him as a defensive end opposite Derrick Burgess.

Ellis recorded 3 sacks last season, but has had 6 or more sacks in a season 8 times.  He has sacked the quarterback a total of 77 times in 162 games.

The Raiders now have six quarterbacks on their roster after the free-agent signing of Charlie Frye.

Frye is 27 and spent the last two seasons with the Seattle Seahawks after the Cleveland Browns had given up on him.  He was a third-round selection in the 2005 NFL Draft, and is also the only player in league history to begin a season as a starter and then be traded after one game.

Frye’s career stats include 3,573 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, 25 interceptions, and 4 rushing touchdowns.
