The Buffalo Bills continue their offseason with a significant contract extension for cornerback Christian Benford. The 24-year-old has agreed to a four-year deal worth $76 million after showcasing impressive performance since being drafted in the sixth round in 2022. Last season, Benford emerged as Buffalo's top cornerback, accumulating two interceptions and two forced fumbles, earning a spot on Pro Football Focus's top-101 players list for the upcoming season.

Benford's rise has been notable, especially when comparing him to his fellow draft classmate, first-round pick Kaiir Elam, whom he outperformed. The Bills' front office, led by general manager Brandon Beane, has also secured extensions for key players like linebacker Terrel Bernard and quarterback Josh Allen this offseason.
