The Elam last name may sound familiar to Cowboys fans. That’s because the cornerback’s father, Abe, played for Dallas in the 2006 and 2011 seasons. Abe appeared in 31 games during his Cowboys stints, posting 82 total tackles, four tackles for loss and forcing two fumbles.

The Bills 2024 campaign came to a crushing end in the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs largely because Elam could not hold up in coverage against Patrick Mahomes and company. So, the front office decided to move on from him and bring Jackson back to town in an effort to prevent something similar from happening again.
