The Buffalo Bills have not necessarily spent large to add the players this low season, but they have certainly placed the dough for local veterans. That continued on Saturday, with the team signing corner Christian Benford to an extension of the contract of four years and $ 76 million, as Espn reported.
Benford, 24, was scheduled to enter the last year of his rookie agreement in 2025. He will now average $ 19 million in annual earnings, according to ESPN, which makes him a best superior paid corner. The salary increase occurs after Benford began 15 games in his career for Sean McDermott in 2024, winning the sixth best degree of coverage of Pro Football Reference passes among all corners.
A Draft selection of the sixth round of Bills in Villanova in 2022, Benford played only nine games as a rookie, then emerged as a key secondary piece as a second year player. He has registered at least two interceptions and 10 pass ruptures in each of his last two seasons, even voting for the defensive player of the year, thanks to his 2024 campaign.

Benford, whose long -term extension helps compensate for the loss of veteran corner Rasul Douglas in free agency, is only the latest bills that stand out to receive a new agreement this year. Buffalo also reached new contractual agreements with the open receiver Khalil Shakir, the Greg Rousseau passes corridor and the land supporter Bernard.
