Dallas acquired Elam from the Bills in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round pick and a 2026 seventh-round pick. The Cowboys included a 2025 sixth-round pick as part of the deal. 

The fifth-year option on Elam would’ve cost Dallas $12,682,000 for 2025 but they opted to decline it and he was set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2026.

Elam, 24, was a first-round selection by the Bills in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Florida. He is the son of former NFL S Abram Elam and the nephew of former NFL S Matt Elam.

He was entering the final year of a four-year, $13,690,809 rookie contract. 

In 2025, Elam has appeared in eight games for the Cowboys and recorded 19 tackles.
