Chiefs Sign Ex-Bills CB Elam to Bolster Secondary
2 Apr
Summary
- Kansas City Chiefs signed cornerback Kaiir Elam on Thursday.
- Elam was a first-round pick by Buffalo in the 2022 NFL Draft.
- The Chiefs need secondary help after losing starting cornerbacks.

The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to terms with veteran cornerback Kaiir Elam. The signing addresses a key need for the Chiefs, who recently saw both of their starting cornerbacks depart during the offseason. Elam, originally selected 23rd overall by the Buffalo Bills in the 2022 NFL Draft, has played in 43 games across three seasons.
During his tenure with the Bills, Dallas Cowboys, and Tennessee Titans, Elam recorded 114 tackles, two interceptions, and three fumble recoveries. The exact terms of his new contract with Kansas City have not yet been disclosed by his agent. This move comes as the Chiefs navigate changes in their secondary following the trade of Trent McDuffie and the free agency departure of Jaylen Watson to the Los Angeles Rams.
