ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the deal includes $54 million guaranteed. The Bills wasted no time in extended their defensive end, doing so prior to the final year on his rookie contract. The extension will now tie Rousseau to the Bills through his age-29 season. Rousseau has played three seasons for the Bills after opting out of the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, amassing 129 tackles, 30 tackles for a loss, and 17 sacks in his time with the team.

Rousseau has totaled 17 sacks and 30 TFLs in his first three seasons with the Bills, starting all 46 games he’s appeared in. The former first-round pick finished last season ranked 27th amongst all EDGEs in quarterback pressures (55) and ranked 39th in PFF pass-rushing grades (min. 200 snaps). He’s still waiting on his first double-digit sack season, but Rousseau, who turned 24 earlier this month, has the makeup of a high-end pass rusher if he can continue to progress in his development.

Rousseau has totaled 129 tackles and 17 sacks in three seasons with the Bills while adding another 30 TFLs. The 2021 first-round pick has generated 127 pressures for his career per PFF and ranked 27th amongst EDGE rushers in pressures last season. If the Bills do exercise Rousseau’s fifth-year option, he will officially be under contract with the team through 2025.
