Bills, Dawson Knox agree to four-year contract extension after TE said he hoped to 'be here for a long time'

Florida International University linebacker/tight end Luke Knox, the younger brother of Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox, passed away at just 22 years old in mid-August. The elder Knox brother took a five-day leave of absence following the tragedy before returning to practice.

On Monday, the 25-year-old met with media members to express his gratitude for everyone throughout "Bills Mafia" for their support during the difficult time. During his discussion, Knox talked about how he desired to stay in a Buffalo uniform for "a long time."

The team announced on Wednesday that they have all intentions of keeping the Mississippi product in Western New York for the better part of the 2020s.
