Cowboys Trade Fifth, Seventh Picks for Cornerback Elam

News summary

The Dallas Cowboys have traded for cornerback Kaiir Elam from the Buffalo Bills, giving up a fifth-round pick in 2025 and a future seventh-round pick. Elam, a first-round pick in 2022, has struggled to secure a starting position, starting only 12 games over three seasons, which has led some fans to label him a draft bust. This trade comes as the Cowboys deal with uncertainty regarding Trevon Diggs' recovery from knee surgery and the departure of Jourdan Lewis in free agency. Elam provides depth behind Diggs and DaRon Bland, with hopes he can fulfill his first-round potential. His father, Abram Elam, also played for the Cowboys, adding a personal connection to the move. The team aims to bolster its secondary with this acquisition as they prepare for the upcoming season.
