The Buffalo Bills have continued their early offseason activity with another extension for their home-grown talent.
Buffalo and defensive end Greg Rousseau agreed to terms on a four-year, $80 million extension that runs through the 2029 season, the team announced Saturday. The contract extension includes $54 million in guaranteed money, according to reports.
Rousseau is the second of three Bills players to receive a four-year extension from the team in the last two days.
On Friday, Buffalo granted linebacker Terrel Bernard a four-year, $50 million extension ahead of the final year on his rookie deal. And later on Saturday, the Bills signed their longest-tenured player – long snapper Reid Ferguson, who has been with the team since 2016 – to a four-year deal before he became a free agent on Wednesday.
Buffalo also signed wide receiver Khalil Shakir to a four-year, $60.2 million extension last week.
Rousseau has been a key member of the Bills’ defensive front since the team selected him in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft. In the four seasons since, he leads the team with 25.0 sacks, including a team-leading eight sacks in 2024, which tied a career high.
The Miami (Florida) product finished the 2024 season with 53 tackles (including 16 tackles for loss), eight sacks, three pass deflections, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. Rousseau’s 24 quarterback hits in 2024 were also a career high.
Greg Rousseau contract
Rousseau signed a four-year, $80 million contract extension to remain with the Bills through 2029, the team announced Saturday. Of the $80 million total value, $54 million is guaranteed, according to reports.
Buffalo had exercised the defensive end’s fifth-year option last offseason, so he’ll make roughly $13.39 million in 2025 before the extension kicks in at the start of the 2026 season.
Rousseau’s new deal is nearly identical to the one that Cowboys defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa signed Tuesday, though it includes $2 million more in guarantees. The $20 million average annual value is tied with Odighizuwa and teammate Von Miller for 21st of all NFL defensive linemen, according to Spotrac.
