Tight end Dawson Knox is staying in Buffalo, agreeing to a three-year contract extension with the Bills, according to multiple reports Tuesday.
While contract details were not immediately available, the contract is believed to restructure his current deal to lower his scheduled $17 million salary cap number. His existing contract had one year remaining.
Speaking in January on “Monday Mornings With Mitch,” the podcast of former Bills center Mitch Morse, Knox said he anticipated the team to make changes to his contract.
“I know they want to bring me back, however they can’t know right now what the cap is going to be, how much money they’ll have to spend, what the market will be for tight ends,” Knox said. “Whether they’ll want to keep me under my current contact for one more year, or try to work out some type of extension.”
Knox, 29, said he communicated to the front office that he and his family have made Buffalo their home and he wanted to remain with the Bills.
Buffalo selected Knox in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
In 102 career games (83 starts), Knox has 229 catches for 2,694 yards with 27 touchdown receptions.
Last season, he appeared in all 17 games (12 starts) and caught 35 passes for 417 yards and four touchdowns.
In other news on Tuesday, kicker Tyler Bass agreed to a revised contract, taking a $1.5 million pay cut for a guaranteed $1 million with a chance to earn up to $3.5 million in 2026 counting incentives, according to multiple reports.
Bass, 29, missed the entire 2025 season due to a hip and groin injury that led to surgery. He signed a four-year, $21 million contract extension in April 2023 that included more than $12 million in guarantees.
For his career, Bass is 131 of 155 (84.5%) on field-goal attempts and 264 of 274 (96.4%) on extra-point attempts in 83 regular-season games for the Bills from 2020-24. He also is 18-for-23 on field goals and 33-for-36 on extra points in 12 playoff games.
Buffalo selected Bass in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Georgia Southern.
