Dion Dawkins had his best season to date in 2023 as a pass protector, and the Buffalo Bills are rewarding him accordingly. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Dawkins will receive a three-year, $60.5 million extension. That will make him one of the NFL’s highest-paid tackles.
Last season, Dawkins allowed just two sacks and 37 total pressures on 769 pass-blocking reps, and he had never allowed fewer than four sacks in any previous season.
