Arrowheadlines: Bills Extend Top Cornerback; Chiefs Face Key Decision
Chiefs news for Monday, March 31
The Buffalo Bills have extended their top cornerback, Christian Benford, to a four-year contract worth $76 million. Benford, a sixth-round pick from the 2022 draft, has grown into a crucial starter for the team, recording 10 passes defensed, two interceptions, and a sack in 15 games last season.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs face a significant decision regarding one of their own players, Jaylen Watson. The veteran cornerback, who played a key role for the Chiefs in 2024 after a season-long injury, is expected to be a highly sought-after free agent in 2026. If Watson remains healthy in 2025, the Chiefs could be looking at a sizable contract extension for him.
The Chiefs are also dealing with issues surrounding their running game. Although their offensive line was solid last season, they struggled to generate explosive runs. The team will be looking for dynamic running backs to improve this aspect of the game.
In other Chiefs-related news, the team is preparing for the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. Kansas City will be making important decisions that could help improve both their offense and defense in the coming season.
