The Buffalo Bills continued their busy winter, extending DE Greg Rousseau to a 4 year, $80 million contract through the 2029 season. The deal comes with a reported $54M guaranteed, an additional $40M over the $13.3M option salary he was set to earn in 2025.

The new contract makes Rousseau the 8th highest average paid DE in football, while the $54M guaranteed currently ranks 6th. Strong numbers for a player that has been a bit inconsistent through 4 years since been selected #30 overall back in 2021.

Rousseau carried a 4 year, $99M valuation in our system, but has been the case for most contending teams, Buffalo locks in a key player at fair value. The deal will almost certainly lower his current $13.3M cap figure for 2025. It's the third notable extension for the Bills this month:

WR Khalil Shakir: 4 years, $53M ($20M guaranteed)
LB Terrel Bernard: 4 years, $50M ($25M guaranteed)

Buffalo may also be in talks with CB Christian Benford (1 year, $3.2M remaining), RB James Cook (1 year, $5.3M remaining), and QB Josh Allen ($14.5M cash in 2025).
