Elliott recorded 38 tackles (24 solo), a half-sack, two defended passes and one interception across 16 contests in 2019.
EDGE Analysis
Elliott secured a rotational role in Carolina's secondary for much of the 2019 season while also contributing on special teams. He'll be an unrestricted free agent in March, and even if the Panthers opt to re-sign him, Elliott won't be on the IDP fantasy radar in 2020.

Elliott signed an undisclosed contract with the Panthers on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elliott spent the 2018 season with the Buccaneers, where he made 24 tackles (22 solo) and one interception in 15 games with the club. He must have made a mark on the Panthers' front office, as his only career interception came against Carolina in Week 13 of last season. The 24-year-old could provide depth at the corner position and on special teams for the Panthers in 2019.

The Buccaneers promoted Elliot to their practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Elliot appeared in six games for the Buccaneers this season before being waived on Oct. 23, totaling just one tackle. He'll likely provide much-needed depth to Tampa Bay's linebacker corps.

Elliott was waived by the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elliott was let go once the team decided to bring on De'Vante Harris. Perhaps Elliott will latch on elsewhere, but speculation seems a bit premature at this juncture in time.

Elliott was promoted to the Buccaneers' active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Elliott was promoted to the 53-man roster following the placement of De'Vante Harris (hamstring) on injured reserve. A 2016 undrafted free agent, Elliott has played 21 games with Tampa over the last two seasons, recording 13 tackles and one pass defended. Elliott should serve as a depth nickel corner and special-teams contribute this season.

Elliot did not practice Saturday due to an undisclosed injury, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear how severe Elliot's injury is, so the defensive back should be considered day-to-day until Tampa Bay can provide an update. Elliot re-signed with the Buccaneers back in March after playing a special teams role for most of the 2017 season.

Elliott re-signed with the Buccaneers on Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elliott was set to become a restricted free agent if he and the Bucs were unable to reach a deal. The third year cornerback played in 15 games for the team last season, but mainly in a special teams role. He will look to earn a more prominent role on defense during offseason camp.

Elliott recorded five tackles over 15 games in 2017.
EDGE Analysis
Elliott is more of a special-teams player, but injuries to the Buccaneers' secondary forced him into extensive action as a nickel corner during some games. However, when he did see playing time, he didn't come close to producing at a clip that could draw appeal in IDP circles. Now an exclusive-rights free agent at the end of the league year, Elliott isn't guaranteed to return to Tampa Bay in 2018.

Elliott is inactive due to coach's decision for Sunday's tilt against Chicago, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elliott's inactive status is likely the results of Tampa Bay's unexpected bye week last week. He isn't expected to play much unless the team faces a rash of injuries that force him into action.

Elliott, battling Robert McClain for the nickel corner job, turned in a strong practice Wednesday, Joe Kania of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being victimized by rookie Chris Godwin for a spectacular one-handed touchdown grab in one-on-one drills, Elliott's day was largely a success. He actually had solid coverage on the acrobatic catch, and he also picked off Jameis Winston during team drills during the session. Elliott added a strip of receiver Shaq Hill in one-on-ones, ripping the ball loose just after the pass had arrived. The FSU product recorded 10 tackles (eight solo) and one pass defensed in six games last season and logged 38 total snaps (31 on defense, seven on special teams) in last Thursday's win over the Jaguars.
