Buffalo Bills, CB Christian Benford agree to $76M extension

On Saturday, Christian Benford, a 24-year-old cornerback for the Buffalo Bills, agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $76 million, as reported by his agents to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Entering the final year of his rookie deal, Benford's extension addresses the team's need for a cornerback and continues the Bills' trend of signing their own draft picks to long-term deals this offseason.
Benford, drafted out of Villanova in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, has accumulated 34 regular-season starts, 5 interceptions, 25 passes defensed, and 4 forced fumbles in his career.

Benford will remain under contract with the Bills through the 2029 season, joining Josh Allen, Greg Rousseau, Khalil Shakir, and Terrel Bernard as key players the team has secured to long-term extensions, aiming to compete against teams like the Kansas City Chiefs.
