Dawson Knox - Beyond Blue & Red

[RocCityRoller]

Liked Dawson Knox since day 1. The steamroller play against Cincinnati solidified my initial hunch about the guy.

Those men had families!

 

 

The high point catch against KC just cemented it. One of my 5 favorite current Bills.

 

He is just going to keep getting better like a good wine. We got him as a bottle of Welches grape juice but will age like a Romanée-Conti (1945)

I find it interesting that Athletes do so much community work.

Is there another profession where you have to constantly prove you're part of that community? and that you're a good person?

They call it "volunteer work" for a reason.

But why do we expect Athletes to volunteer?

 

I'm racking my brain to think of any other job where I EXPECT them to be helping the community in some way.

Who is expecting them to volunteer?  They aren't contractually obligated to spend their free time to go and help people.  Neither am I but I volunteer.  It's probably a little easier for someone making millions of dollars a year to find a few hours in a day to volunteer than a single mom/dad, working 2 jobs to get by.

 

Your expectations for them to volunteer are your own.  My guess is about 15% of NFL players actually volunteer regularly and the rest do a "I volunteer" day and sign a big check.

I don’t think Knox is going anywhere.  Next year he’ll be up even before Gabe because if you look around the league and the draft, TE’s are much harder to find and less expensive than WR’s.  
 

Im not saying we won’t extend Davis, and Beane with cash over cap can keep restructuring and use signing bonus conversions to make it work as I’m sure they have a very good idea what the cap will move to with these new TV and Amazon contracts and the explosion of $.

 

They can always take the 5th year on Oliver in two years.  The sour pill is Poyer our only 1st team all pro, up next year.  My guess is we’ll try to do a 2 year extension, but if he balls we’ll lose a really valuable asset.  I’m guessing in two years we’ll also let Hyde go.  Expect draft picks the next two years for safeties.

Great Story. I hope he has an awesome season.

I think the stark reality is that most star athletes would acknowledge that they did not get where they are without the support of family, coaches and, in some cases, teammates.  If you really feel that way you should want to actively give back.  We all should feel that way as we are all blessed in some way by someone.  I hope we helped Dawson to win the TEU fund raising contest.

Every community is filled with good people who volunteer their time to benefit others. Whether it is youth coaches, Adopt-a-Highway crews, Big Brother/Big Sister volunteers, church groups, or (the list is endless) others, good people volunteering are all around us. Here's the deal, volunteers don't make a lot of noise, they just give of themselves. Or, to use TBD vernacularly, they generally don't make splash plays.

So they are the "Tremaine Edmunds of our community" is what you're saying, right? 😆
