FRIGHTENING NEWS: The Bills’ three-time Pro Bowler sends out a strange tweet that leaves supporters expecting terrible news….
Fans are second-guessing Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins after the front office removed five players on Wednesday in a desperate attempt to free up cap space.
A mysterious remark that Dawkins posted on Twitter/X caused some people to take notice, as the three-time Pro Bowler appeared to imply that a future in Buffalo is not a given. The post is visible below.
In 2024, Dawkins will begin his contract year. On March 18th, a $500,000 roster bonus is due.
Maybe he’s just expressing his desire to be extended before to the season, or maybe he’s processing the feelings of watching several teammates be cut before this year’s free agency rush?
While some fans have seen it as a sign of an impending extension, others have suggested that it may be hinting at some doubt about maybe leaving Buffalo based on the walking man and sad face emojis. The offensive line would suffer greatly if he left, thus Bills Mafia really hopes it’s the former rather than the latter.
The Bills could save $4.87 million if they released Dawkins as they worked through a challenging salary cap scenario, according to Over the Cap. In light of the fact that the Dallas Cowboys’ future Hall of Famer Tyron Smith leads this year’s free agency class at tackle, the Bills would probably receive compensation if they were to place Smith on the trade block. This is assuming, though, that this is the direction the front office is going.
For the time being, all the Bills Mafia can do is hope for the best—a long-term agreement for Dawkins that shields Josh Allen’s blindside.
