Bills

Bills GM Brandon Beane mentioned that they plan to have Greg Rousseau play the outside linebacker position in 2026, but they won’t have him drop into coverage. 

“Yeah, I think he’ll be on the outside ‘backer. You’re not gonna see him dropping [into coverage] as much as you would some other guys. But he can still do it enough — he might do it one time a game,” Beane said, via Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. “Could he go play the 4i? Yeah, he could. I don’t know if you’re getting his value there, to be honest. It doesn’t mean he couldn’t do it. I think he’s versatile enough. Like anything, if we needed him to go do it, if these guys are like, ‘man, you’re the best guy,’ Greg would. But we see him in the outside ‘backer group, not that 3-4, 5-tech, 4i type stuff.”

Beane indicated that most of their defensive ends in former DC Bobby Babich‘s system will now be outside linebackers for new DC Jim Leonhard.

“When we show up to training camp, who are the group of now linebackers plus D-linemen? Considering that most of our old D-ends are now gonna be outside backers.”
