Bills cornerback Christian Benford’s new contract will change his life. But not his approach. Benford said in announcing the deal that the money, about $70 million over the life of the contract, will make an enormous difference to his family.

On Wednesday, cornerback Christian Benford officially signed his four-year extension with the Buffalo Bills. A former sixth-round pick out of Villanova, Benford has established himself as one of the league’s emerging cornerbacks,

The Bills will lock down the former sixth-round pick for less than $20MM per year, with Schefter adding the contract checks in at $76MM in total. Benford’s deal follows those given to Khalil Shakir, Gregory Rousseau and Terrel Bernard, as the Bills are showing tremendous faith in the emerging standouts from their early-2020s drafts.
