Christian Benford

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Bills signed CB Christian Benford to a four-year, $76 million contract extension.

A sixth-round pick from Villanova in the 2022 NFL Draft, Benford finished last season with an 82.6 overall PPF grade (fifth among CBs). The 24-year-old cornerback played like a top-five player at the position and now he’ll be paid like one on a deal that will keep him in Buffalo through the 2029 season. Benford’s deal comes after extensions for EDGE Greg Rousseau, LB Terrel Bernard and WR Khalil Shakir as the Bills continue to lock up their core players this offseason.
