TRADED Cowboys trade for CB Kaiir Elam from the Bills

Wonder what they had to give up for him?

Late picks. Cost isn’t bad but he’s a downgrade from Lewis for sure

 

[Risen Star]

I don't care how good he is and I don't care what we gave up to get him. He's a cornerback.

Great ******* move.

If he allows us to cut Andrew Booth then he is already worth moving down from a 5th to a 6th.

Since we're harping on players' draft positions and evaluations from 3 years ago. Booth was taken only 20 spots after Elam.

Do Jerry and Stephen know that when you are at the negotiating table wondering who the sucker is and your offer is accepted with no competing offers, you are the sucker.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Think so? I like the move, but Carson has already shown about as much as Elam

Considering Diggs will probably miss significant time, they both have a very good chance of being the #2 and #3 CB's

 

[conner01]

Well, we got plenty of 5ths, so I don't have a problem with the trade. I think the potential upside is worth it.

I haven’t followed him but his stats say below avg. abd a first round pick that got 12 starts in 3 years. Obviously he has some talent to be picked in first so the question is can we get out of him what bills couldn’t. The price is good but I don’t think he’s half the player Lewis was

Tells me Buffalo wanted to get rid of him. Just like we did with Amari. Forget the terms just trade him.

Amari had s big contract to move. I don’t think this guy does. Lets hope he needs a new environment to play in and becomes a player

Is it dumpster diving if he was a 1st rounder just 3 years ago?

Apparently.

[Brax]

the theme continues!

The old Al Davis philosophy on other teams bust first round picks, “there was a reason other teams drafted him” it’s worth a shot to see what happens. BP learned from him I guess Jerry learned from BP

 

[tomokawan]

They spent a first on him we swapped a 5th for their 6th…..they shouldn’t be laughing…

Exactly. And the Bills drafted him in the first round. They should be mad.

He was due $12M in 2026.

Will be interested in seeing which 5th we gave up - hopefully the last comp. pick, not the 12th pick of 5th round.

Jerry stays on brand no matter what.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Hard to be too angry about this move. He was thought highly of at one point. I don't think he has had a major injury or anything. Maybe he just didn't fit their scheme.

Carson? The player the Eagles targeted in the 2nd half at Dallas. Ok. Still drinking the Eagles champagne I see.

 

[Risen Star]

Elam Island.

They aren't going to pick up his 5th year option.

 

[Teague31]

No problems with this. We needed bodies at corner and the price was right.
