Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox agreed to a four-year contract extension on the eve of the NFL season opener against the Los Angeles Rams.
“Couldn’t be more excited to call Buffalo home for the next several years,” Knox said Wednesday afternoon in a social media post. “Huge thank you to the Pegulas and Brandon Beane… now it’s time to get this season rollin!”
Multiple reports placed the value of the deal at $53.6 million through the 2026 season. His original contract was set to expire at the end of the 2022 season.
Knox, 25, receives $31 million guaranteed according to multiple reports, but will play the 2022 season under the terms of his existing deal at a salary of $2.51 million.
He caught 49 passes for 587 yards and nine touchdowns in 2021, career-best production by a wide margin in his third NFL season. His nine TD catches tied for most in the league among tight ends last season. Knox has 101 receptions for 1,263 yards and 14 touchdowns in 42 regular-season games.
The Bills selected Knox in the third round of the 2019 draft out of Ole Miss.
