Very happy Bedford signed an extension. The Cooke situations complicated. We lost the AFC championship game due to a poor performance by Josh in the beginning series. Poor playcalling, running the tush push way too many times. And not giving the ball to Cooke in the fourth quarter. Cooke had an excellent game. I’d blame it on play calling and Josh being completely out of sync the first series. that might justify Cooke getting an extension also
Need beef on the D line and healthy LBs
GO BILLS..🫶🏿🦬💪🏿
Thanks Mike! Appreciate you taking the time on a Saturday! A question. Any chance Bills bring back Nyheim Hines? It was so unfortunate what happened to him and he's over a year from his injury. Never got to see him at full potential. Like the player. Just a thought.
They hate James Cook lol
Go bills
This is GREAT news….and it's the RIGHT move! Benford is a stud, and I'm estatic that he's sticking around. It's VERY well deserved….dude is a baller. Go Bills!!!!
🤞🏻.. here's hoping he stays healthy.
Did Cook screw himself with his demands? I could imagine a 4 year $46m extension is he would accept it?? Good luck getting $15m/year?? Someone might pay it but not for 45% of the snaps?
We have 2 maybe 3 years before Beane runs out of restructuring wiggle room? Chances are we'll regularly have $40m in dead cap. HOPEFULLY, I'm much more cap ignorant than I think. 😮
Phew. Happy they got this one done!!! Congratulations Christian Benford – Well Earned!!!
Tough man. Glad he got some bucks.
78 million?
Is the other 2 million coming out of your pocket?! 😂
Benford is really good but not top 5-10 imop. Our defense with the zone scheme is very DB friendly.
Most DBs we bring in do well here. Benford isn’t a shut down corner. He’s not out there following the opponents top receiver man-man all around the field.
Still with that said he’s a great player for the style we play and well worth the extension
Now, let’s go find a #2!
Hopefully he stays healthy. Can only get better.
I will never understand how bills fans and the bills organization is ok with re signing every player they draft except for the one guy (James cook) that is the actual elite level talent on the team as far as the batch of guys we just resigned and the most valuable to our QB and he’s the one guy we haven’t resigned?? 😂 Buffalo proves why they are stuck on dum dum and get no rings..yall can talk ish and call him a “diva” or W/E dude performed at a high level and if u disagree U don’t know football he deserves to get his..I’ll get so much hate for this comment but the funny thing is I’m laughing cause it’s pure facts.
Go Bills
OVERALL GRADE
82.6
AVG
5th/222 CBs for Benford this past year . Another feather in Beane's cap! Benford will look way underpaid in about two years
Another move that guarantees the Bills are on top of the AFCE for the next 5 years with EASE!!!!!
Funny that the only person that took to social media to complain about wanting a stupid amount of money is the only one that hasn't been given a new contract… sorry Mike, it's just like Diva Diggs , the Bills don't want players that are like burrs under a saddle
Crazy to see us pay JAGS but we got better having a solid running game. Y’all really make it seem like he’s replaceable one question do you know football. Second he beat out singletary and moss two vets. Some strong drugs if you really think Davis and Johnson can do what he has. The 2nd best rb in the playoffs, not ever rb has the build as Henry but to have more stats than mixon says it all. If he goes to chargers or Cincy they get extremely better. But get rid of him just a guy trying to beat the stereotypes but the media thinks he’s replaceable. Do your homework second best player on the team but paying injury prone Bernard , groot dosent deserve criticism he’s basically bash am 2.0. Pay that man or watch him kill us every opportunity
