Deadspin | Bills pick up TE Dalton Kincaid's option for 2027 Deadspin | Bills pick up TE Dalton Kincaid's option for 2027

MARCH 30 • DEADSPIN.COM

Fifth-year option picked up Bills general manager Brandon Beane said Monday that Kincaid (knee) has officially had his fifth-year option picked up by the team, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Kincaid's fifth-year option keeps him under contract with Buffalo through the 2027 campaign. The 2023 first-round pick was limited to a career-low 12 regular-season appearances in 2025 due to a lingering PCL injury in his knee (that dates back to Nov. 2024), but he was nonetheless productive, securing 39 of 49 targets for 571 yards and a career-high five touchdowns. Across two playoff appearances, Kincaid posted a 9-111-2 line on 11 targets. The 26-year-old tight end won't need to undergo any sort of offseason surgery, instead focusing on rehab to strengthen his knee for the future. He's positioned to reprise his role as Buffalo's top tight end after the team inked No. 2 man Dawson Knox to a new three-year deal, and the team's passing offense could also take a step forward with the addition of WR DJ Moore via trade.

Won't require offseason surgery Kincaid (knee) said Thursday he will not require surgery to address the torn PCL he played through during the 2025 campaign, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Kincaid confirmed that the PCL tear is the same injury he initially suffered in November of 2024, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, and that he continued to "tweak it" in different situations throughout the 2025 campaign. That knee injury forced Kincaid to miss five regular-season games and limited his snap count, as he didn't play over 50 percent of offensive snaps a single time after Week 5. Still, the 2023 first-round pick took a step forward as a pass-catcher, totaling a 39-571-5 receiving line across 12 regular-season appearances, including an impressive 14.6 average catch distance. As Kincaid prepares to rehab his injury again this offseason, he'll focus on strengthening his knee to avoid having to deal with continual issues again in the 2026 season.

Played through torn PCL all season Kincaid (knee) played with a torn PCL during the entire 2025 season, Ryan Talbot of Syracuse.com reports.

Impact Kincaid initially suffered the injury in November of 2024. He opted for rehab last offseason but remained bothered by the injury, which capped his snap counts during the season. Kincaid didn't play more than 55 percent of snaps on offense in any game during the 2025 regular season or playoffs. He may try to rehab the injury again this offseason, but if Kincaid opts for surgery, he would face an expected recovery timeframe of 6-to-9 months.

Finds end zone in playoff loss Kincaid secured all six targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 33-30 overtime divisional-round loss to the Broncos on Saturday.

Impact The talented tight end shook off some nagging knee and calf injuries to suit up and finish as the Bills' leader in receiving yards on the afternoon. Kincaid also contributed to Buffalo's comeback from what had been a 23-10 deficit by recording a 14-yard touchdown grab early in the fourth quarter. Both Kincaid's reception and receiving yardage tallies were his highest since Week 9, while his scoring catch was his second in as many playoff games. Kincaid also put together a solid 2025 regular season during which he missed five games, generating a 39-571-5 line on 49 targets, with 13 of his catches going for 20-plus yards.

Set to play Saturday Kincaid (knee/calf) doesn't carry an injury designation for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos.

Impact Kincaid was listed as limited on the Bills' practice reports Tuesday through Thursday, but he'll be available this weekend, nonetheless. With WRs Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (knee) and Gabe Davis (knee) all on IR, Kincaid figures to be busy versus Denver in the absence of any in-game setbacks. During Buffalo's wild-card win over the Jaguars this past Sunday, Kincaid logged five targets (tied for second on the team) en route to catching three passes for 28 yards and a TD.

Logs another limited listing Kincaid (knee/calf) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact Kincaid was also listed as limited in Tuesday's walk-through practice, which gives the tight end one more opportunity to work fully before the Bills assign injury designations for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos. Assuming Kincaid is available for the contest, he figures to remain a focal point in a Buffalo pass-catching corps that's been thinned-out by injuries to WRs Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (knee) and Gabe Davis (knee).

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to begin week of prep Kincaid was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to knee and calf injuries.

Impact Kincaid has been listed on Bills injury reports with the knee issue dating back to Week 16, but the calf injury may be the greater concern for the tight end as Saturday's divisional-round game versus the Broncos approaches. He was able to make an impact in the Bills' 27-24 win over the Jaguars this past weekend with three catches for 45 yards and a touchdown on five targets, but he was spotted in a walking boot following the game. While head coach Sean McDermott noted that Kincaid was donning the boot merely as a precaution, the 26-year-old will still likely need to put in a full practice by Thursday in order to avoid taking a designation into Saturday's matchup with Denver.

Impact McDermott said Kincaid "should be fine" for Saturday's upcoming divisional-round road matchup against the Broncos, per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, but the third-year tight end's activity level at practice will be worth monitoring. Kincaid secured three of five targets for 28 yards and one touchdown versus Jacksonville, the sixth time across the 2025 campaign that he and quarterback Josh Allen have connected for a receiving score. The 28 offensive snaps Kincaid handled versus the Jaguars marks his largest workload since Week 5 of the regular season.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Finds end zone Sunday Kincaid caught three of five targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 27-24 win over the Jaguars in the wild-card round Sunday.

Impact The third-year tight end connected with Josh Allen on a 15-yard TD midway through the fourth quarter, part of a wild sequence in which the two teams got into the end zone on four straight drives as they traded the lead back and forth. It was Kincaid's second score in six career playoff games, and his first score since Week 14 this season as he played sparingly down the stretch. Kincaid appears full healthy however, as the Bills await their opponent in the divisional round.
