The #Chiefs have agreed to terms with former #Bills and #Cowboys CB Kaiir Elam, his agent Jon Perzley of @SPORTSTARSNYC tells @RapSheet and me. Former first-round pick heads to Kansas City, which lost both of its starting corners this offseason.
Elam is the second cornerback Kansas City has acquired during free agency after signing Kader Kohou last month. It was one of its biggest positions of need after trading Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams and letting Jaylen Watson walk.

Elam was a first-round draft pick by the Buffalo Bills in 2022. In a funny twist, the Bills only took Elam because the Chiefs traded up over them to select McDuffie, who Buffalo was hoping to land. Elam was considered one of the best cornerbacks in that draft class, but his collegiate success never fully translated to the NFL. The Bills traded Elam to the Dallas Cowboys last offseason.
