Signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Saints in March of 2026.
Back to NOLA
Elliss agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year, $33 million contract with the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Elliss played nearly every defensive snap for the Falcons over the past three seasons, piling up at least 107 tackles each year while totaling 12.5 sacks and two interceptions in that stretch. Now, he'll return to the team that drafted him in the seventh round back in 2019. The 30-year-old is set to receive $23 million guaranteed, which puts him in a strong position to start at inside linebacker next to Pete Werner in 2026.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Progress may not be linear for everyone, but Elliss' role and production have consistently increased each year that he's been in the league. He took a step forward to lead Atlanta's linebacker corps in 2024, with Troy Andersen limited significantly by a knee injury and Troy Reeder taking a step back in his role. Elliss will now lead a new-look front seven in Atlanta, working alongside Divine Deablo in the middle of the linebacker corps. In addition to being a strong run-stuffer, Elliss' production is unique relative to most middle linebackers for his ability to get after the quarterback, as he has double-digit quarterback hits in two of his last three seasons.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Candidate for double-digit sacks
Elliss could record digit sacks in 2025, Josh Kendall of The Athletic suggests.
ANALYSIS
The Falcons prioritized improving their pass rush this offseason, signing Leonard Floyd before drafting both Jalon Walker and James Pearce in the first round. That trio has rightfully been the primary talking point around Atlanta's defense this offseason, but opposing offensive lines will also prioritize them in blocking schemes. That could open up room for Elliss, who has 16.0 combined sacks across the last three seasons despite often lining up as a traditional inside linebacker.
