The Buffalo Bills and New York Jets are set for a few royal rumbles in 2024 thanks to Dion Dawkins.
The Bills left tackle recently said in an interview that he “hates all of them,” referring to the Jets. He specifically pointed out Micheal Clemons in an NSFW manner.
The two do have a history together as dust-ups between the Bills and Jets involving them both have occurred. On one occasion, Clemons was ejected from a game. In another, Dawkins and Clemons got into a shoving match in the tunnel of Highmark Stadium after the final whistle.
Clemons has yet to comment, but New York general manager Joe Douglas had a chance to respond to it at the 2024 NFL combine.
“Respect has to be earned, and it has to be taken,” Douglas said. “There is really nothing to say. Words are meaningless.”
Douglas’ full response can be found in the WIVB-TV clip below:
