Chiefs Sign Elam to Boost Secondary

0:00It's April 2nd. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI tracking teams, players, and standings. Kansas City Chiefs just locked in cornerback Kair Elam, a former first-round pick to bolster their defense. The 24-year-old was the 23rd overall selection in the 2022 draft out of Florida. He's got solid experience with 43 games under his belt. 19 starts, 8 passes, defense, and two picks. Elam bounced around last season after Buffalo shipped him to Dallas back in March. He suited up for 10 games with seven starts for the Cowboys before they waved him in November. Right after, he joined the Titans and played four more games to finish the year. Cheese fans are buzzing because the secondary took hits, trading away Trent McDuffy and watching Jalen Watson walk in free agency. This move plugs some gaps with a young guy who's seen action across multiple teams. Details are still coming together on the deal, but Elam brings that start of potential at a good time for Kansas City's rebuild in the back end.
