Bills TE Dawson Knox: Glue guy with $20M deal
16 Jul
Summary
- Dawson Knox signed a $20 million deal, lowering his cap hit significantly.
- Knox had his most productive season since 2022, playing all 17 games.
- He is a reliable backup for Dalton Kincaid and a locker room leader.
Dawson Knox will continue with the Buffalo Bills after signing a renegotiated three-year contract worth $20 million. This new deal significantly lowers his 2026 cap hit, making it more manageable for the team.
Last season, Knox played a full 17-game schedule, his first in the NFL, and stepped up as a reliable target for Josh Allen. He recorded 36 catches for 417 yards and four touchdowns, marking his best performance since 2022.
Knox is expected to reprise his role as the primary backup to Dalton Kincaid. His balanced skillset as a blocker and receiver, coupled with his leadership, makes him a valuable "glue guy" for the Bills.
He holds the franchise record for tight end receiving touchdowns and is poised to climb higher in the team's all-time receiving touchdown rankings this season.
