The Buffalo Bills have solidified their defensive core, signing linebacker and defensive team captain, Terrel Bernard, to a four-year, $50 million contract extension, with $25.2 million guaranteed, according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Mike Garafolo, and Kyle Brandt. This deal ensures the Bills retain one of their most promising young defenders for the foreseeable future.
The average salary places Bernard fifth in the NFL’s linebacker pecking order, but as always, we need to wait for the full numbers to come out.
Bernard, a third-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, quietly emerged as a key playmaker for Buffalo.
