Cowboys acquire DB Kaiir Elam from Bills
Bills Kaiir Elam celebrates his fumble recovery against Miami during second half action at Highmark Stadium on Nov. 3, 2024. The Dallas Cowboys acquired cornerback Kaiir Elam from the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday in exchange for two draft picks.
The Cowboys sent a fifth-round pick in this year's draft and a seventh-rounder in 2026 for Elam, a former first-round pick. The Cowboys also get a sixth-round pick in this year's draft.
Elam, 23, has two interceptions, six passes defensed and 81 tackles in 29 career games (12 starts) for the Bills, who took him No. 23 overall in the 2022 draft.
The Cowboys are trying to shore up their secondary after losing Jourdan Lewis in free agency and with uncertainty surrounding Trevon Diggs after graft surgery to his left knee in January.
Elam is in the final season of his rookie contract with a club option for 2026. He's set to count $2.57 million against the salary cap in 2025.
