The Buffalo Bills have continued their offseason strategy of securing key players with long-term contracts, signing star cornerback Christian Benford to a four-year $76 million extension on Saturday. The deal is set to run through 2029, averages $29 million per annum, ranking Benford tied for 13th amongst NFL <\/a>Cornerbacks in terms of pay. <\/p>

He was drafted by the Bills as a sixth-round pick from Villanova in the 2022 NFL <\/a>draft. Since then Benford has emerged as a steal, transitioning from a solid contributor to the team’s top cornerback by last season. His breakout season in 2024 has solidified him as the cornerstone for the Bills’ defense.<\/p>

The Bills have continued to extend their key players and some of them include star QB Josh Allen, WR Khalil Shakir LB Terrel Bernard, and now Christian Benford, to name a few. While Allen was their biggest priority going into the offseason, the Bills also showed urgency to re-sign all of the key contributors before they hit the free agency after 2026. In the three seasons that he’s played in the NFL, Benford has 5 interceptions, 4 forced fumbles, 142 combined tackles, and 7 tackles for loss. <\/p>
