Bills Set Dalton Kincaid on No‑Surgery Plan, Expect to Exercise Fifth‑Year Option
A second opinion directed the tight end to a strengthening program to manage his torn PCL.
Overview
- General manager Brandon Beane said he sees no reason not to pick up Kincaid’s fifth‑year option for 2027.
- The team must decide on the option by May 1, 2026 under NFL rules.
- Because he was a Pro Bowl alternate, the option would fall in the basic tier projected at about $8.75 million.
- Kincaid said the PCL tear began in 2024 and flared in 2025, leading to four missed games before he sat out Week 18.
- Beane said the plan is to “armor” Kincaid through targeted strength work with the Bills’ staff to avoid surgery.
