ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Buffalo Bills have re-signed defensive end Greg Rousseau to a four-year, $80 million contract extension to stay with the team through the 2029 season.

Rousseau, who has been with the Bills since he was drafted in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, shared his excitement about continuing his career in Buffalo.

The defensive end took some time to talk one-on-one with 7 Sports Director Matt Bove about the extension citing unfinished business and potential for growth as reasons for his decision.

"It's a blessing. It's a place that I wanted to be. Since 2021, I've been here. I never really wanted to leave, so I'm glad that organization feels the same way." Rousseau said. "They trusted me a lot with this contract, so I gotta go out there and prove them right and keep on playing good ball and only get better."

In addition to Rousseau, the Bills have also extended the contract of long snapper Reed Ferguson, the longest-tenured team member.

Rousseau and Ferguson join linebacker Terrel Bernard and wide receiver Khalil Shakir as the latest extensions.
