The Dallas Cowboys have been lively on the primary two days of authorized tampering and have been at it once more on Wednesday, albeit with a distinct form of transfer. It was reported that the Cowboys are buying and selling for veteran cornerback Kaiir Elam. Dallas is sending the Buffalo Payments a fifth- and seventh-round choose and can obtain in return Elam and a sixth-rounder, per Tom Pelissero.
Full commerce: The #Payments will obtain fifth- and future seventh-round picks from the #Cowboys for Kaair Elam and a sixth-rounder, per supply.

Buffalo chosen Elam within the first spherical of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Florida. He missed a majority of the 2023 season, however he rebounded to play most of final 12 months. As a 2022 first-rounder the Cowboys must determine in the event that they wish to train his fifth-year possibility (that’s uncertain).
Elam gives a degree of depth for a Cowboys cornerback room that was already in want, however grew to become sorely so on Monday when Jourdan Lewis left for the Jacksonville Jaguars. This can be a excellent utilization of extra draft picks which was formally made to be the case for the Cowboys on Tuesday after they picked up 4 compensatory picks and held 10 total within the 2025 NFL Draft.
To get a sixth-rounder in return is strong work from the Cowboys entrance workplace. This isn’t a large deal, however it’s a clever approach to herald some respectable depth at a place that basically wants it. Kudos to the Cowboys right here.
