Olatoye was waived by the Falcons on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Olatoye signed with Atlanta earlier this month after bouncing between Tampa Bay's practice squad and 53-man roster throughout the season. The 27-year-old did not play in the two games he spent with the Falcons, and registered one tackle in five games overall in 2017.

The Falcons signed Olatoye to a contract Thursday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Olatoye assumes the roster spot of fellow cornerback C.J. Goodwin, who was released in a corresponding move. After appearing in five games with Atlanta last season, Olatoye suited up just twice before the Falcons released him in September. He later resurfaced in Tampa Bay, logging one tackle across three contests.

The Buccaneers waived Olatoye on Tuesday, Scott Smith of Fox 13 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Olatoye's third stint on the Bucs' active roster this season has come to an end. The 26-year-old is a likely candidate to revert back to the team's practice squad assuming he clears waivers.

Olatoye signed a contract with the Buccaneers on Wednesday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Olatoye, who earned a roster spot with the Falcons out of training camp, appeared in two games before being waived in September. He latched on with Tampa Bay shortly after and appeared in one game before being let go once the team reclaimed some health in the secondary. Olatoye will now rejoin the Buccaneers for the second time this season with reserve cornerback Vernon Hargreaves (hamstring) looking iffy for Sunday's game against the Packers.

The Buccaneers released Olatoye on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Olatoye suited up Week 8 against the Panthers with the Buccaneers down multiple key defensive backs, but with the secondary returning to decent health in advance of Sunday's loss to the Saints, the 26-year-old didn't dress for the contest. He'll now be dropped from the roster entirely as the Buccaneers clear a spot for quarterback Ryan Griffin (shoulder), who was activated from injured reserve Tuesday.

Olatoye signed a contract Wednesday with the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Olatoye appeared in seven games with the Falcons over the parts of the past two seasons, notching four tackles and three pass breakups. While it's not expected that Olatoye will hold down a major role in the Bucs' secondary while he remains with the team, he'll at least provide some extra insurance with Robert McClain (concussion) uncertain to play Sunday against the Panthers.

Olatoya was waived Thursday by the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Olatoye has been with the Falcons since last November, when he was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster. He had been primarily playing a role on special teams, but with the team needing added depth on the defensive front, they'll use the open roster spot to sign defensive tackle Joe Vellano.
