New Orleans Saints top pick (#7 overall) DT Sedrick Ellis has finally agreed to terms on a deal, ending a six-day holdout. The deal’s length is five-years and can max out at $49 million. While Saints GM Mickey Loomis wouldn’t say exactly what the figures were, John Clayton reports it could be worth as little as $32 million or as much as the aforementioned $49 million. It’s also being reported that $19.5 million is guaranteed.

The former Trojan will start on the defensive line for the Saints and, combined with DE’s Will Smith and Charles Grant, could make their line one of the most talented in the league.
