Bills tight end Dawson Knox has signed a four-year extension with the franchise, both he and the team announced Wednesday. The deal is worth $53.6 million with $31 million guaranteed, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The new contract makes him one of the highest-paid players at his position in the entire NFL.
Knox is coming off career-highs in receptions (49), receiving yards (587) and touchdowns catches (9) in 2021. It came at a perfect time since ’22 was going to be the last year of his previous deal.
He’s one of star quarterback Josh Allen’s favorite targets, catching 31 passes from him for third-down conversions this past season. He made the deal official after Wednesday’s practice when he signed his contract.
