Buccaneers sign former Cardinals RB Andre Ellington
Wednesday 20 February 2019 11:23, UK
Andre Ellington has signed with Tampa Bay, where the former Arizona Cardinals running back will re-join new Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians.
A sixth-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, Ellington rushed for 1,750 yards and 10 touchdowns in 61 games while playing for Arians from 2013-17. He also caught 145 passes for 1,296 yards and three TDs during that span.
However last season Ellington, like Arians, was out of the NFL.
Ellington, who turned 30 this month, was waived by the Cardinals midway through the 2017 campaign and claimed by the Houston Texans. He played in four games for Houston, totalling only 11 touches.
