Elliott, 27, wound up signing on with the Packers as an undrafted free agent out Toledo back in 2014. He played out the final year of his three-year, $1,535,000 rookie contract with the Packers but did not receive a restricted offer from the team.

The Packers re-signed Elliott in 2017 before trading him to the Cowboys at the start of the regular season. Dallas elected to cut Elliott loose after a few weeks and he later had a brief stint with the Saints.

Elliott played for the San Antonio Commanders and led the now-defunct AAF in sacks, which earned him a shot with the Dolphins last April. Miami waived Elliott in July and he signed on with the Steelers a month later. 

Elliott bounced on and off of the Steelers’ roster last season. 

In 2019, Elliot  appeared in four games for the Steelers and recorded four tackles and no sacks.
