The former Miami Hurricane is set to spend the next two seasons with the Buffalo Bills as the team plans to pick up Greg Rousseau's fifth-year option before the May 2 deadline.
The deadline to exercise the fifth-year option on Rousseau's rookie contract is May 2, and Bills general manager Brandon Beane mentioned that the team was interested in taking advantage of it.
"I don't see any reason why we wouldn't," said Beane while addressing reporters at the league meetings in late April. On Monday, NFL Network's Peter Schrager reported that the Bills will, in fact, have Rousseau under contact through 2025.The 6-foot-7 Rousseau has made 46 starts over his first three NFL seasons, accounting for 17.0 sacks, 12 passes defensed and three forced fumbles. The Bills drafted the Miami Hurricane with the No. 30 overall pick in 2021. Rousseau's stock dipped slightly when he decided to opt out of the 2020 COVID season due to his mother being a frontline nurse.
Although mostly lining up at the end position, Rousseau also has the ability to kick inside and rush the passer from the interior.
