Per Todd Archer of the Dallas Morning News, the future of Greg Ellis with the Dallas Cowboys is uncertain. The team is considering the possibility of either trading him or releasing him.

Ellis, who worked with the team's first-team defense on Tuesday at the team's OTA workout, did not attend the team's workout on Thursday.

If they trade him, the move would free up more than $5 million in salary-cap space for the Cowboys. If they cut him, the move would free up $4.15 million in salary-cap space.

"He's looking forward to being a Dallas Cowboy," Ellis' agent, James Williams, said. "Now, if that's going to happen, we don't know. That's not in our control."

Ellis had eight sacks in 2008 in a decreasing role with the Cowboys. Anthony Spencer, the team's first-round pick in 2007, is expected to start opposite DeMarcus Ware at outside linebacker.
