Dion Dawkins, known for his jovial nature, gave Buffalo Bills fans a scare on Monday morning. Amidst a flurry of player departures due to salary cap constraints, Dawkins teased his departure from the team.
In a classic prank move, Dawkins hinted at an exit just as he was finalizing a significant contract extension with the Bills. The three-year, $60.5 million deal, reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, solidifies his stay in Buffalo, a fact later confirmed by the team.
Bills faithful might have momentarily panicked at the prospect of losing their star offensive tackle, but Dawkins swiftly revealed his jest, leaving fans relieved and amused.
Despite recent roster adjustments, including the release of several players, the Bills prioritized securing Dawkins, a three-time Pro Bowler, ensuring stability on the offensive line for years to come.
Dawkins’ playful antics notwithstanding, Bills fans can rest assured that their stalwart tackle remains firmly rooted in Buffalo.
