Kaiir Elam is really impressing so far.
The Dallas Cowboys have been wheeling and dealing this offseason. They made a huge splash when they gave a third-round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for wide receiver George Pickens. They also excited fans when they snared Joe Milton from the New England Patriots for an exchange of late-round picks. And before all that happened, they swapped late-round picks to get Tennessee Titans linebacker Kenneth Murray. The Cowboys addressed three key position groups by way of trade.
While those are the biggest names the Cowboys have traded for, there’s one other player who’s easy to forget about. Kaiir Elam. Dallas sent a fifth-round pick (with some late-round swaps again) to the Buffalo Bills for Elam, who is in the final year of his rookie deal. The former Florida corner was selected 23rd overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, but his time in Buffalo hasn’t gone according to plan. Over three years, he’s played in 29 games, starting 12 of them, but his struggles last year were enough for Buffalo, so they decided to move on.
