Insider Suggests Bills Trade TE Dawson Knox to Division Rival
The Buffalo Bills nailed their first-round pick in 2023, adding tight end Dalton Kincaid who quickly became a favorite target for quarterback Josh Allen while setting a franchise records for rookie pass-catchers.
But Kincaid’s fast rise could put veteran tight end Dawson Knox in a tricky spot, and one insider believes he could ultimately end up as trade bait this offseason. Bleacher Report’s Joe Tansey suggested that the Miami Dolphins could have their eyes on Knox, who has proven to be a strong red-zone target though struggled at times to stay healthy.
Dawson Knox ‘Makes a Ton of Sense’ for Miami
Kincaid turned in one of the best seasons ever for a Bills tight end, topping Sammy Watkins to set the franchise record for most receptions by a rookie. Kincaid ended the year with 73 catches for 673 yards and two touchdowns.
Tansey suggested that Kincaid’s role will continue to grow in his second season, which could make Knox expendable for the Bills. If the team does decide to shop Knox around, Tansey believes the Dolphins would be an interested party.
“Knox still had value in the postseason alongside Kincaid, but it is clear that he is no longer the No. 1 tight end in Buffalo,” Tansey wrote. “Miami’s offense lacked an impact from the tight end position under [head coach Mike] McDaniel. Knox does not have to be a high-volume pass-catcher, but if he is effective in the red zone, he would be a worthwhile acquisition.”
