Joining Kansas City's secondary The Chiefs are slated to sign Elam, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Elam, who played in 10 regular-season games with Dallas and four with Tennessee in 2025, brings depth and experience to a Kansas City cornerback corps that has seen Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson depart this offseason. The 24-year-old has 19 starts (including seven with the Cowboys last year) to his credit since being drafted by the Bills 23rd overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, and in his new locale, Elam figures to compete with Nohl Williams and Kristian Fulton for outside CB reps.

Headed to Tennessee Elam signed with the Titans on Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact The 2022 first-round pick from Florida was cut by the Cowboys on Nov. 22 but has already found a new home in Tennessee. Elam appeared in 10 games for the Cowboys before being cut, recording 29 total tackles and one pass defended. However, he struggled in coverage, allowing 14.9 yards per target and an 105.0 passer rating when targeted. Now in Tennessee, Elam will likely operate as one of the team's top boundary corners for the remainder of the season.

Cowboys' Kaiir Elam experiment ended in real time with one ruthless decision The Dallas Cowboys have finally waved the white flag on their Kaiir Elam reclamation project.

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • THELANDRYHAT.COM

Cut by Cowboys Dallas waived Elam on Saturday.

Impact Elam was acquired by Dallas in a trade in March and logged every defensive snap for the team over the first three weeks of the season. However, the 2022 first-round draft pick saw his playing time fluctuate thereafter, and Elam didn't log any defensive snaps while playing three snaps on special teams last Sunday against Las Vegas. Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News indicates that Elam's removal from the roster suggests the Cowboys have ample confidence in their current outside corners -- including rookie Shavon Revel and second-year pro Caelen Carson.

Cowboys' Kaiir Elam bet (somehow) backfiring even worse than fans imagined Even with tempered expectations, the Dallas Cowboys' decision to trade for Kaiir Elam has been an absolute disaster.

OCTOBER 28, 2025 • THELANDRYHAT.COM

Demoted to bench role Elam will not start at outside corner for Sunday's game against the Jets, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact With Elam benched, Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland will serve as the starting outside corners while Reddy Steward gets promoted to the slot corner position. Elam played every single defensive snap through the first three games of the season but saw his playing time dip in Week 4 against the Packers, and it appears that most of his playing time Sunday will come in rotation in the secondary and on special teams. The 2022 first-rounder has logged 20 tackles (13 solo) through four games this season.
