Kaiir Elam traded to Cowboys

[DJB]

He was absolutely terrible here. I’m glad we won’t have to watch him again. 
 

But I do wish him all the best

How much does that save?  Should be a pretty good saving cap wise. 

around 2 million

 

getting another 5th this year for giving up a 6th is a win

Not that Elam was the answer but we have major holes currently at CB with Elam and Rasul gone. 

And 8 picks in the first 5 rounds. No way 8 rookies make the team. We have more ammo than we need to fill the remaining holes on the roster.

Kinda make you think they already have something ready to announce, doesn't it?

Officially a bust of a 1st round pick. Oh well. Beane really needs to get the 1st and 2nd rounders right more often, starting with this year's draft!

$2.5m

I’ll really miss him crashing into WR 15 seconds before the ball gets there.

would have been a win if we traded him for a player never to be named!

Free agency just started. There us also the draft. Trades are a possibility. No reason to panic the 2nd week of March. The roster is currently under construction.

I’ll be interested to see the compensation but this is the same team that Gabe up a 4th for bust Johnathon Mingo at the deadline 

 

5th and a future 7th is definitely higher than my expectation. 

 

It's funny I think it might have been you (apologies if not) I was talking to last offseason about Kaiir and saying there are not a ton of teams where his skillset looks a good fit but Dallas who just ask their corners to attack rather than read and react might be one. Sort of makes sense. Although I am considerably more convinced it is about Elam not being good as much as not being a fit this spring than I was last. The compensation is a definite win for the Bills.

We must be eyeing a CB on the market

[BuffaloBillyG]

Wish the kid well. Sorry it didn't work here, but such is life 

 

We got a little som back in return and both sides can move on from a disaster pairing.

Another wasted first round draft pick! Woo hoo, we got a fifth rounder back. Beane you da man!

[Buffalo Barbarian]

Hallelujah !!

Beanes  worst pick , at least we got something back for him.

 

 

[ColoradoBills]

I'm going to hope that the 5th round pick this year ends up being a long-time impactful starter.

It would lessen the blow of the 1st round bust.

Beane packaging all these fifths into a higher pick

Just pretend we got Benford in the first and Elam in the 5th.  This whining is getting to me but BEANE SHOULD'VE MADE THE METCALF TRADE!!!

[Taro Nimbus]

I hope he does well for the Cowboys.  Sucks it didn’t work out for him here.
