Ellard, Colts Reach Agreement, but . . .

Mike Blatt, agent for holdout wide receiver Henry Ellard, met with Colts General Manager Jimmy Irsay in Indianapolis Saturday. Blatt has tentatively reached a financial agreement with the Colts on a contract that would pay Ellard $1.39 million for three years. The deal, though, cannot be completed unless the Rams make a trade with the Colts before Tuesday’s NFL trading deadline. A Ram source said Saturday that the team has no intention of trading Ellard. The Rams had granted Ellard permission to negotiate with the Colts.
