Buffalo Bills Tight Ends SHINE in 2025, But Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox Decisions Loom

Buffalo Bills’ tight end room powers into NFL elite as Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox deliver top-tier production—can this group take another leap in 2026? Joe Marino breaks down Kincaid’s impact, the looming $8.9 million fifth-year option, and how injuries may shape the Bills’ offensive future. Knox’s contract dilemma sparks debate: will Buffalo opt for a release, extension, or a restructured deal to keep their versatile veteran in the mix?

Spotlight shifts to breakout rookie Jackson Hawes, praised as one of the league’s best blocking tight ends, and undrafted prospect Keleki Latu showing depth potential. The episode also covers new Bills coaching hires, the shift toward a 3-4 defensive scheme, and insider discussion on how these changes could reshape Buffalo’s identity. Can the Buffalo Bills maximize their tight end arsenal and navigate critical roster decisions to fuel a stronger playoff push?
