Bills continue to 'draft, develop and re-sign our own'

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Last Wednesday, Buffalo Bills cornerback Christian Benford inked a four-year extension that links him to the Bills through the 2029 season, the latest in a series of offseason moves that Buffalo has taken to solidify its roster.
