Overview
- The Bills exercised the fifth-year option on tight end Dalton Kincaid, locking in a fully guaranteed $8.1 million salary for 2027.
- The fifth-year option, available for first-round picks, guarantees a player’s fifth season and gives teams more time before committing to a new multi-year deal.
- Kincaid made the Pro Bowl in 2025 with 39 catches for 571 yards and a career-high five touchdowns.
- He has missed nine games over the past two seasons and has shared snaps with veteran Dawson Knox, yet he is regarded as the future at tight end in Buffalo.
- Buffalo also traded for wide receiver DJ Moore this offseason to bolster Josh Allen’s targets, positioning Kincaid as a key piece in a revamped passing attack.
