ESPN insider Alaina Getzenberg highlighted that releasing Knox could save nearly $9.7 million in cap space, a consideration the Bills have begun discussing with Knox’s representation as they navigate restructuring talks. Knox finished the 2025 season third on the team in receiving yards (417) and tied for second in receiving touchdowns (four).
Bill’s general manager Brandon Beane noted there’s no immediate resolution, with discussions ongoing and a couple of weeks to decide on Knox’s future. Knox signed a four-year, $53.6 million extension in 2022, but production fluctuated in subsequent seasons before a stronger showing last year.
Beyond Knox, Buffalo faces other tough cap-related decisions at the pass-catching position, including potential moves involving veteran receiver Curtis Samuel and questions about Keon Coleman’s 2026 role. Samuel, who signed a $24 million deal ahead of 2024, has not recaptured his earlier production, while Coleman’s status could shift depending on disciplinary matters and potential trade interest.
