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.

Big Ten Powerhouse Predicted to Land Nation's No. 4 WR
Big Ten Powerhouse Predicted to Land Nation's No. 4 WR originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the college football offseason continues to roll on, a number of the top players in the 2026 recruiting class are deciding on which programs they want to play for, which includes wide receiver Calvin Russell out of Opa-locka, Florida. Advertisement It's soon to come as he has narrowed his options to four schools, choosing between the Michigan Wolverines, the Syracuse Orange, the Oregon Ducks and the Florida State Seminoles. Of course, any team would love to be his choice, and in an expert prediction from On3's Stephen Wagner, Russell will land with the Big Ten and play under head coach Sherrone Moore at Michigan. It would certainly give the Wolverines a reason to be excited, as On3 Industry Rankings have Russell as a five-star recruit, the No. 4 wide receiver, the No. 2 player in Florida and the No. 32 player in the nation. Miami Northwestern wide receiver Calvin Russell is predicted to land with the Michigan Peterman / Special to The Post / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Those high ratings are backed up by some solid stats at the high school level. Russell accumulated 35 receptions, 645 yards and 11 touchdowns in 12 games last season for the Miami Northwestern Bulls. Advertisement Considering how highly he's already viewed and the fact that he stands at 6-foot-5.5 and 190 pounds, Russell is the kind of player who could come in and compete for playing time as a true freshman. He could also add nicely to the already impressive 2026 recruiting class that Michigan and Moore have built up. It features 20 players, ranking No. 4 in the Big Ten and No. 11 in the nation. However, it will remain to be seen if this prediction becomes a reality, with the wide receiver set to announce his commitment at 9 p.m. ET Saturday.
