The New Orleans Saints signed outside linebacker Jayrone Elliott to a reserve/future contract, a source familiar with the transaction confirmed Tuesday.
The 6-foot-3, 255-Elliott entered the league in 2014 as an undrafted free agent with the Green Bay Packers, where he spent three seasons (2014-16).
Green Bay traded Elliott to the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 3, 2017, but Elliott's time in Dallas proved brief after the Cowboys waived him on Sept. 19.
The 26-year-old Elliott has appeared in 39 games with no starts, totaling 57 tackles (48 solo), four sacks, an interception, two passes defensed and a forced fumble.
