The 2024 contract extension of Dion Dawkins has been terminated due to..
Dion Dawkins, the left tackle for the Buffalo Bills, had his contract extended, but the statistics took a while to appear. It was always going to be crucial to see how things worked out since it seemed like the huge domino Buffalo needed to add a couple free agents because the trade cut Dawkins’ cap hit.
The Dawkins agreement was initially slated to be a three-year, $60 million extension; nevertheless, it now has a four-year, $71 million worth remaining.
According to his previous contract, Dawkins was slated to receive $10.3 million in cash with a $16.61 million cap hit in 2024. Rather, as they continue to prolong it into further years, his cash increases by $4 million and his cap hit decreases by $5 million.
Dawkins’s signing bonus under the new deal is $11 million. It is quite certain that he will collect his $2 million 2025 roster bonus in addition to his fully guaranteed $30 million contract for 2024, $2025, and a $6 million option bonus for 2025. Buffalo has just 24 months from now to terminate the agreement, with the first two years being fully guaranteed.
Full guarantees of $4.75 million of his salary and a $500,000 roster bonus are given to him if he is on the roster five days into the 2026 league season.
Similar to other executive officer binding agreements, business manager Brandon Beane’s features annual incentives in the form of per-game roster bonuses ($20,000 per game up to $340,000) and exercise bonuses ($500,000 per season).
Of all the tackles in the NFL, this one has the 12th-highest guaranteed salary at signing. It is the fifth-highest average deal worth all tackles in the NFL. In 2024, it ranks as the Bills’ fifth-highest cap hit.
By agreeing to a three-year contract extension on Monday, the Buffalo Bills locked up nickel cornerback Taron Johnson through the 2027 campaign.
A three-year agreement inked in 2021, Johnson, 27, was about to enter his final season after being selected for the first time all-pro. From 2020 onward, he has been a starter after being chosen by Buffalo in the fourth round of the 2018 draft out of Weber State.
