The Dallas Cowboys have acquired cornerback Kaiir Elam from the Buffalo Bills in a trade that sees the Bills receive draft capital in return. Dallas, seeking to bolster their secondary, adds Elam, a former first-round pick, to their roster. The 2023 season saw Elam struggle to secure a consistent role with the Bills, leading to this trade.
In exchange for Elam, Buffalo receives a 2025 fifth-round pick and a 2026 seventh-round pick from Dallas. This move signifies a shift in the Bills’ approach to their cornerback position, potentially indicating a preference for a different style of player or a focus on developing other options. The trade also allows Buffalo to add to their draft capital, providing flexibility in future draft selections.
