Drafted in the third round at No. 96 in the 2019 NFL Draft, Dawson Knox has been one of the most reliable offensive weapons for the Buffalo Bills since he entered the league.ย

In 2023, Knox will have a base salary of $1,955,000, a roster bonus of $320,000, and a signing bonus of $10,000,000. He also has a workout bonus of $250,000.

The Bills tight end inked a four-year contract extension worth $52,000,000 on September 7, 2022. This included a $7,000,000 signing bonus, with $31,200,000 guaranteed and an average annual salary of $13,000,000.
