Falcons agree to terms with former Giants DL Justin Ellis

Former New York Giants defensive lineman Justin Ellis has reportedly found a new home, with the veteran set to sign with the Atlanta Falcons.

The news comes from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, and it comes after Ellis was brought in by Atlanta for a workout recently. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The 32-year-old Louisiana Tech product and former fourth-round pick spent last season with Big Blue, appearing in all 17 games (four starts) and finishing one sack and 22 combined tackles (two for loss).

He also chipped-in on special teams.

Prior to his stint in New York, Ellis spent the first five seasons of his career with the Raiders, who drafted him in 2014. He has also played for the Baltimore Ravens.

Overall, Ellis has played in 117 games (54 starts) over his nine-year career, totaling 182 tackles (eight for loss), 1.5 sacks, five QB Hits and three passes defensed.

He’ll now look to show enough to make the cut with the Falcons.
