The Bills are keeping one of their tight ends around for the next couple of years.
According to multiple reports, Dawson Knox has agreed to a new three-year contract with Buffalo.

Now Knox and Buffalo have worked through a new deal to keep him with the club.
A third-round pick in the 2019 draft, Knox has played his entire career with the Bills. A one-time Pro Bowler, Knox has registered 229 catches for 2,694 yards with 27 touchdowns in his seven seasons.
In 2026, Knox played all 17 games with 12 starts, tallying 36 receptions for 417 yards with four TDs. He was on the field for 58 percent of Buffalo’s offensive snaps.
Bills kicker Tyler Bass missed the 2025 season with hip and groin injuries and he’ll be back with the team in 2026 on a new contract.

Bass will also have the ability to make back most of the pay cut through incentives.

Former NFL linebacker Darron Lee appeared in court on Monday for a preliminary hearing on charges of first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. And the case against him includes some unusual, and particularly incriminating, evidence.
Via Local 3 News, the prosecution offered testimony indicating that Lee had consulted ChatGPT on how to deal with a person who is unresponsive. The message came from Lee’s phone.
Lee also asked ChatGPT about the injuries that would be consistent with someone falling in the shower.
Body camera footage showed Lee telling a police officer that the victim, 29-year-old Gabriella Perpetuo, may have slipped and fallen in the shower but that Lee didn’t know what had happened to her. The police report in the case indicates that blood was found through the house, along with broken glass.
Authorities also said that Perpetuo had “multiple stab wounds, black eyes, bite marks, and blood coming from her nose and mouth.”
Prosecutors have not ruled out seeking the death penalty against Lee.
He was a first-round pick of the Jets in 2016. Lee also played for the Chiefs and the Bills.
In addition to the criminal prosecution, Lee faces a $50 million wrongful-death lawsuit.
