Bills have reinforced their commitment to retaining core players by securing a four-year contract extension with Christian Benford.

Benford, whose long-term extension helps offset the loss of veteran cornerback Rasul Douglas in free agency, is just the latest Bills standout to receive a new deal this year. Buffalo also reached new contract agreements with wide receiver Khalil Shakir, pass rusher Greg Rousseau and linebacker Terrel Bernard.

Despite not being an All-Pro or Pro Bowler, though, Benford got a deal worthy of a top cornerback in the NFL - and certainly with the Bills at this point in the offseason. Benford signed a four-year contract extension with Buffalo Saturday afternoon worth $76 million.
