Something clearly has changed since 1986. Sounds like you're not interested in getting to the bottom of it.

Certainly seems like there are mental health issues at play that the public doesn't know about. Various folks in the media have hinted as much. There's a reason a player of his talent level is just sitting there on the open market with no reported interest. What we DO know about him is also not great. Kind of a ballbag grabber, ya know?

He would be our best defensive tackle if we signed him so we won't.

He doesn't sound like he'd fit the culture in Buffalo. No way. No need for classless d-bags on the team.

Too skinny

If he is healthy he is a great player. And he is not quite as weird as Charles Hayley.

Perhaps @ganesh is being modest but I feel a PDF is not necessary (some won't download it) and we can post the full PDF contents here (it's not overly long). Thanks for the write up and supporting a real team player. Written by Ganesh (not me): Dawson Knox: Buffalo’s Tight End of Grit and Glory From Walk-On to Bills Mainstay Dawson Knox’s story has never been about the easy path. A quarterback in high school who battled injuries, he walked on at Ole Miss with little fanfare and few catches to his name. Scouts saw raw athleticism more than polish. But what stood out was his drive—the quiet, relentless work ethic that transformed him from a forgotten prospect into an NFL draft pick. When the Buffalo Bills selected him in the third round of the 2019 draft, it wasn’t just about measurables. It was about potential. About a player who embodied resilience, toughness, and the kind of determination that fit the DNA of Buffalo itself. Plays That Feel Like Buffalo Knox’s game isn’t glamorous. It’s gritty. He’s as proud of a key block as he is of a touchdown. He’ll fight through defenders for three extra yards that won’t make the highlight reel but might win a drive. One play that encapsulates him came in January 2022, during the Bills’ wild-card playoff against the Patriots. On Buffalo’s opening drive, Josh Allen rolled right and fired a pass Knox’s way. The ball seemed destined to sail out of reach—until Knox twisted his body mid-air, extended to the limit, and somehow reeled it in for the touchdown. It was Buffalo’s first score in a game that would become one of the franchise’s most dominant playoff performances. And it was pure Dawson Knox: impossible catch, relentless focus, refusing to give up on a play that looked dead. By the night’s end, Knox had found the end zone twice—and came within a single yard of a third touchdown. It wasn’t just production, it was persistence, the kind of never-say-die performance that set the tone for the entire team. “I trust Dawson. When the game’s on the line, I know he’s going to fight for that ball.” – Josh Allen In 2021, Knox broke Buffalo’s single-season touchdown record for tight ends. But even in that career year, his identity wasn’t the scoreboard—it was the sacrifice. The willingness to take a hit over the middle. The unselfish joy in celebrating a teammate’s score. Every play feels like Buffalo itself: hard, cold, unrelenting, built on pride—and defined by a\ never-say-never belief that no moment is too big. A Bill for Life Knox’s connection with the city runs deeper than stats. He’s embraced its winters, its work ethic, and its identity as an underdog that refuses to quit. Head coach Sean McDermott puts it plainly: “Dawson is the guy who’ll do whatever it takes—block, catch, fight through pain. That’s Buffalo football.” – Sean McDermott That’s why many in Buffalo believe Dawson Knox is more than just a player. He’s a symbol. The kind of athlete who doesn’t just wear the jersey but lives what it represents. The Legacy in Motion For Knox, football is more than a game. It’s family, faith, and city all bound together in blue and red. His plays remind fans of Buffalo’s own story—fighting for every inch, never backing down, finding pride in perseverance. Dawson Knox isn’t just a tight end. He’s Buffalo’s tight end. And if the city has its way, he’ll be a Bill for life.

I love the enthusiasm! Personally, though, I'm not expecting a whole lot out of Palmer, and even less out of Moore. Not to say they won't be affective, but I suspect there won't be a ton of three WR sets-- lots of 12, and 21 personnel, and Jumbo packages. And I think Keon, and Khalil will be getting the most snaps, assuming Shakir is close to 100%. We'll know better on Wednesday, I assume. I imagine we will be Palmer in three WR formations, and I wonder how many targets he gets in those? His selling point has been "natural separation," but does he get used to draw coverage from Keon? Of course, I am one of the idiots who voted "Superstar" in the Keon Coleman poll, so.... It will be interesting to see who gets some of those plays out of the backfield-- screens, sweeps, etc-- Moore, or Samuel. I would assume that Moore is the much faster player at this point in their careers.

Yes.

I'll address the elephant in the room... If he's so great, why is he still unsigned after being cut by the Raiders?

I think Obama is at the top of the list, ahead of Hillary. I'm prepared to be disappointed, but I don't think I will be.

Knox was a better receiver last year. Catch percentage - Knox 66.7% / Kincaid 58.7% Yards per catch - Knox 14.1 / Kincaid 10.2 Yards per target - Knox 9.4 / Kincaid 6.0 Success rate - Knox 63.6% / Kincaid 53.3% Kincaid had quite a few more targets, 75 vs 33, which shouldn't be discounted, but Knox was by far the more efficient pass catcher. Knox also had a higher ADOT (8.8 vs 7.5) so his targets were a higher degree of difficultly and he still came up with that much better efficiency. Of course Kincaid has the higher upside. He is a better route runner and he has better movement skills. But for whatever reason he and Allen were not on the same page as much Knox and Allen were last year. Maybe they just need to develop better chemistry. But I continue to worry that Kincaid is not a natural NFL player and lacks some of the nuance required for that position. I'd love to be proven wrong. There have been mostly positive reports coming out of training camp. I think it's unlikely he'll ever fully live up to his 1st round draft status but if he can get around 750 yards and close to a 70% catch percentage I'd take that.

Knox signed his contract at the absolute apex timing. His agent deserved his cut.

There's no better example of the outsized role luck (probability) plays in a football game between closely matched team than the 13-seconds game. Neither team could stop the other. The Chiefs won the coin toss, and the Bills never got to touch the ball. If the Bills had won the coin toss, they were likely to go to the Super Bowl.

Jessica comes across as a genuinely nice person. I wish her success. ..and she has been successful, despite never winning the big one. She has been in the Top 1% of her sport for 10 years now. All of us here can only dream of such success. Go Jessica!

"Horse paste" (Ivermectin) was an effective therapeutic for Covid. Ironically, mRNA shots are NOT so good for horses! The Equine Connection.

I heard that his defensive move in Madden is the "credit card swipe" and can only be used after they play is whistled dead

Believe it or not, after the left brought us a centimeter away from civil war, yes I’m all about lawfare now. There are too many fags in the Republican Party though. Gonna have to run them over but I’m not sure anyone has the stones for it.

They’re busy putting together puff pieces or rehashing training camp news from a week ago. They pretty much suck. Stick with some of the more well known podcast guys for better information

TY. Just yesterday i mentioned to my son that I hadn't heard anything about Jessica Pegula and the US Open. File my interest under I hope she excels but will spend no time keeping track until it's in front of me through TBD or the national media.

Feel awful for him. I assume that being drafted 95th overall weighs heavy on him. Add to that they drafted heavy this year, you'd think that he was driven to show his worth this season especially.

If I had to choose one of the Bills 53 to have a season ending injury the day after cut downs, Carter would’ve been in my top 5. Seems like barely any real loss for the team.

Good/great player. Yup
