Buffalo Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension Friday.

Financial terms were not disclosed, but NFL Media said the contract is worth $50 million with $25.2 million guaranteed.

The deal keeps Bernard with the Bills through the 2029 season.

Bernard, 25, was entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2025.

Named a captain last season, he recorded 104 tackles and two interceptions -- including a game-sealing pick in Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs -- in 13 games (all starts).

Bernard totaled 269 tackles, 7.5 sacks, five interceptions and four fumble recoveries in 46 career games (31 starts) since being selected by the Bills in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Baylor.
