Dawkins will be on the wrong side of 30 by Week 1 and is playing witness to integral pieces of the recent core depart for free agency. With just a year remaining on his deal, he may not be wrong to be concerned.
However, unlike safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde or cornerback Tre’Davious White, Dawkins hasn’t given Buffalo much reason to cut bait.
Dawkins has been remarkably consistent throughout his Bills tenure, grading out as an above-average tackle in each year of his seven-season career. This past season, Dawkins was Pro Football Focus’ 17th-highest graded (qualified) tackle. Even without elite play, his durability and dependability on the blindside are more than deserving of an extension.
