Not saying this is likely, probably unlikely, but just as an fyi....Joe B in the Athletic had Elam as a potential trade target in August before final cuts. Beane has a history of making moves in the August trade market.
"Since Beane took over in 2017, the Bills have traded away six players in late August before 53-man rosters were due. Rather than having to cut a player they like, Beane has shown he prefers to get something in return to push the investment forward."
