com/eBGwysgt9d — Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) April 2, 2026 According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network , former Buffalo Bills , Dallas Cowboys and Tennessee Titans cornerback Kaiir Elam has agreed on a contract to play in Kansas City. It will be his fourth stop for his fifth season after being selected with the 23rd pick in the draft, two picks after former Chiefs, now Los Angeles Rams , cornerback Trent McDuffie. He will add to the current duo of Chiefs’ outside cornerbacks: Nohl Williams and Kristian Fulton.
Elam has rarely aligned in the slot when he’s in formation. Elam has started 19 games in a career that obviously has not lived up to expectations so far. The soon-to-be 25-year-old has just two interceptions, eight defended passes and four tackles for loss to his name.
