The Buffalo Bills waved the white flag on cornerback Kaiir Elam during the offseason and now his current team is doing the same.
The Bills traded Elam and a 2025 sixth-round pick to the Dallas Cowboys back in March in a trade that netted the Bills a 2025 fifth-round pick and a 2026 seventh-round selection.
We can now confirm that the Bills are the winner of that trade after the Cowboys announced they have waived the former first-round pick on Saturday.
"Cowboys waived CB Kaiir Elam and signed RB Malik Davis from their practice squad," ESPN's Adam Schefter relayed.
Elam appeared in 29 games over three seasons with the Bills, but only started in 12 of those contests and was a total disappointment. He surrendered a completion rate of 70.3% and a passer rating of 100.0 in that span.
After going to Dallas, Elam was placed into a starting role, lost it, and then regained it for three more games before he was benched in Week 11.
In all, he gave up a completion rate of 55.6% and a passer rating of 105.0 with the Cowboys, with the latter mark being a career-worst for him.
The move comes even with the Cowboys being short-handed at cornerback, as Trevon Diggs is on injured reserve due to a concussion.
Now, Elam will head to waivers, where teams can claim him next week.
