A day after linebacker Chris Board agreed to terms with the Detroit Lions, the Ravens lost another unrestricted defensive free agent on Wednesday. NFL Network’s Ian Rappoport reported that veteran defensive tackle Justin Ellis is signing a one-year deal to join the New York Giants.
Ellis will re-unite with former Ravens’ defensive lineman Jihad Ward, who also signed with the Giants earlier this week. The Giants’ new defensive coordinator is a familiar face in Don “Wink” Martindale, who served the same role in Baltimore for four consecutive seasons before the two sides parted ways this offseason.
