Bills Criticism and Rumors Focus On Both of Josh Allen’s Tight Ends

What is the level of public unhappiness with the Buffalo Bills tight end situation?

On the one hand, we have Bleacher Report having offered a blockbuster three-team deal that would cause the Bills to get New Orleans Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu while sending tight end Dawson Knox to the Saints while the Atlanta Falcons get Kirk Cousins.

Their logic?

“The Bills can use the three-time first-team All-Pro all over the field as a defensive chess piece,” they write. “At 33, he’s still a better safety than Taylor Rapp and Damar Hamlin. Buffalo needs the type of players who can push the team over the top. Mathieu can be one of those individuals.”

Our confusion here: Why does this need to be a three-way trade?

If the Bills want “Honey Badger,” can’t they just trade for him?

And if they want to move on from Knox, can’t they do the same?

Besides … There is no indication in the building of dissatisfaction with Knox.

Now, what about unhappiness with the other tight end, promising Young Dalton Kincaid? Again, to the public perception …

 

USA Today’s Bills Wire has named Kincaid – the team’s first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft – as the Bills player with the most to prove this season.

And truthfully, the team has made some noise there.

As a rookie, he totaled 73 receptions for 673 yards. Last year, though, Kincaid made just 44 catches for 448 yards and infamously dropping a late fourth-down pass from quarterback Josh Allen in the AFC Championship Game loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

But none of this should add up to a give-up. We’re betting that if you quizzed Allen, he would prefer to keep his tight ends just as they are, with Knox a clutch veteran and with Kincaid, admittedly, needing to continue to work to the goal of being the same.
