Off-season trash talk is already heating up.
Buffalo Bills tackle Dion Dawkins launched a scathing attack on the New York Jets and specifically aimed his ire at defensive end Micheal Clemons, reigniting the rivalry between the AFC East foes.
In an interview with VladTV, Dawkins, who oddly chose to go shirtless for the occasion, didn’t hold back as he recounted his altercation with Clemons earlier in the season.
‘Weirdos being weird,’ Dawkins said with a laugh. ‘I don’t even want to give the man no credit, talking about him. But No. 72, Michael Clemons. B***h boy. I’m just gonna keep it a buck, I hate them. All of them, bro.
Dawkins criticized the Jets, suggesting that they play the sport for the wrong reasons, insinuating that they prioritize image over passion for the game. He contrasted this with his own dedication to football, stating, “I play this because I’ll die by it.”

Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner responded to Dawkins’ remarks on social media, highlighting the irony of Dawkins criticizing players for trying to be cool while appearing shirtless on an interview.
The animosity between Dawkins and Clemons traces back to the Bills’ dominant victory over the Jets, during which tensions flared on the field and spilled over into post-game altercations.
Dawkins recalled Clemons taunting Bills quarterback Josh Allen and provoking other members of the Buffalo team, leading to a heated exchange between the two players.
Their confrontation escalated into a physical altercation, with Clemons ultimately tossing Dawkins aside after a late hit, resulting in penalties for both players.
The simmering rivalry between the Bills and the Jets appears to have reached new heights, fueled by Dawkins’ outspoken remarks and the on-field clashes between the two teams.
