Gets contract extension Benford and the Bills have agreed upon a four-year, $76 million extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Benford was widely considered a Pro Bowl snub last season after putting together a standout campaign that included the sixth-highest PFF grade (79.3) among NFL cornerbacks. The Villanova product finished the regular season with a career-high 64 tackles, including his first NFL sack, 10 pass defenses (including two interceptions) and two forced fumbles over 15 contests. Benford was set to enter 2025 on the final season of his rookie contract, but with the extension he'll now be a core member of Buffalo's defense for the foreseeable future.

Clears concussion protocol Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Monday that Benford has cleared concussion protocol and has resumed football activities, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Benford suffered a concussion during the first quarter of the Bills' AFC Championship loss to the Chiefs, and it wasn't until about a week after the game that he cleared protocol, per Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo. Benford finished the 2024 regular season with a career-high 64 tackles (50 solo), including 1.0 sacks, 10 pass defenses (including two interceptions) and two forced fumbles over 15 games.

Career year in 2024 Benford (concussion) recorded 64 total tackles (50 solo), including 1.0 sacks, 10 passes defended, with two interceptions, and two forced fumbles over 15 regular-season games in 20...

Impact The third-year pro from Villanova started all 15 regular-season games he appeared in for the Bills this season, serving as one of the team's top outside cornerbacks. Benford tied his career highs in passes defended, interceptions and forced fumbles in 2024 while setting a new personal best in total tackles, which included the first full sack of his career. He's entering the final season of his rookie contract in 2025, making it likely he returns to Buffalo. Don't be surprised if Benford gets extended by the Bills at some point this offseason, having just led his team in passes defended and interceptions in 2024.
