That’s a lot for a guy who disappears as often as he does.

He would’ve broken $100m if he was able to hit double digit sacks.

[Magox]

Hell yeah!  What a deal for the Bills!

 

Beane has been on fire with extending our core young players to team friendly deals!

 

 

[Cray51]

It’s a fine deal - I was thinking he could get as high as $23M a year

[EmotionallyUnstable]

I think this puts us out of the Myles Garrett discussion.

I was a NO on extending Greg. But those numbers are okay. Less than I was expecting. 

[The 9 Isles]

With a better Dline coaching the sky is the limit for him.

You have to wonder how much winning the SB has been a negotiating tactic for these guys.  “If you sign with us now, get a deal done, we know what we can do to make the rest of the roster good enough to not only win a superbowl this year, but have a 5 year window to win as much as possible”

20M per year for Rousseau is on the low end of what many thought he’d get.

 

He's not a Batman, but he and Oliver could be two big time Robin’s on an improved DL.

I think the upper end being 20 AAV is very reasonable. It’s probably less without the incentives which is a win for the Bills again contract wise.

 

They also probably lowered their cap with him this year as well getting us closer to cap compliance 

[Coach Tuesday]

Unlike the Bernard deal, this one actually rivals what he would’ve gotten in the open market.

[US Egg]

Keeping the status quo ain’t cheap.

[TheBeaneBandit]

Good deal for both sides if Greg keeps getting better he's still young enough to get one more mega deal after this contract.

And this going to free up around $10m in salary cap for 2025

 

If you include his $13m that is scheduled for 2025 the $93m over 5 years at an AAV of $18.6M

I will wait for details, but it looks like an overpay for a good, not great player. Definitely a pattern now.

I don't think so.  I'm guessing Rousseau's cap hit went down for 2025, and probably backloaded a bit. 

Beane knows he has to improve the dline.

We know that’s all Beane cares about.

Hard to believe he's only 24yo
