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. 

Dawson Knox Salary

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.

Dawson Knox Cap Hit

The 26-year-old will carry a cap hit of $6,425,000 in 2023. His contract has a dead cap value of $17,555,000 this year.

Dawson Knox Contract Extension

It’s unlikely Knox will sign another extension in the near future. He’s already under contract with Bills through his age-31 season and has the seventh-highest average annual value contract among tight ends.
