Buffalo Bills cornerback Christian Benford reached agreement on a four-year, $76 million extension, his agents told multiple media outlets on Saturday.

Benford, 24, was entering the final season of his rookie deal. He is now under contract through the 2029 campaign.

The Bills have been busy with contract extensions, including NFL MVP Josh Allen (six years, $330 million), defensive end Greg Rousseau (four years, $80 million), wide receiver Khalil Shakir (four years, $53 million) and linebacker Terrel Bernard (four years, $42 million).

Benford recorded 64 tackles, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and a sack in 15 games (all starts) last season.

He has 142 tackles, five interceptions, four forced fumbles and one sack in 39 career games (34 starts) since being selected by the Bills in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
