Knox and the Bills have agreed on a new three-year deal for the tight end, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Per Pelissero, Knox had been due $12 million this season, including a $1.5 million roster bonus, but his re-worked deal is slated to lower his cap hit for 2026, according to Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo. Knox recorded a 36/417/4 receiving line on 49 targets in 17 regular-season games in 2025, a pace that kept him on the radar in deeper fantasy formats. He did that while working alongside fellow TE Dalton Kincaid (39/571/5 in 12 regular-season contests), who remains under contract with Buffalo, a scenario that sets up a continued timeshare at the position in 2026.

Dawson Knox: Breaking News
Trio of grabs in postseason loss
Knox brought in three of five targets for 32 yards in the Bills' 33-30 divisional-round overtime loss to the Broncos on Saturday. Knox put together a three-catch effort for the second time in as many postseason contests. However, his day, and that of the Bills, would have been much bigger had Josh Allen not missed him as he ran down the seam and toward the end zone on a third-down play with 16 seconds remaining in regulation and Buffalo trailing by three. Knox's solid postseason was preceded by his most productive regular season since 2022, as he posted a 36-417-4 line on 49 targets across 17 games.
Three catches in wild-card win
Knox caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-24 wild-card win over Jacksonville. Knox was able to finished tied for second on the team in catches with wide receiver Brandin Cooks and fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid. Knox made his largest impact in the fourth quarter, securing a 24-yard gain on his second catch of the day. The tight end has now reeled in at least one pass in 14 consecutive postseason contests dating back to 2020, and he'll look to extend that streak in next weekend's AFC divisional round.
