The Dallas Cowboys have acquired cornerback Kaiir Elam from Buffalo, adding depth to a position with some questions as the Bills decided to move on from their 2022 first-round draft pick. The Bills get two draft picks in the trade and give up one. Buffalo adds a 2025 fifth-round selection and a 2026 seventh-rounder. Dallas gets a 2025 sixth-round choice. Elam joins a group with two established starters in Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland. Diggs might not be ready for the start of the season coming off the 2021 All-Pro's second major knee surgery in as many years. The 23-year-old Elam struggled to establish a regular role in Buffalo.
