Greg Rousseau has turned out to be a complete slug.

But Rousseau's cap hit is currently 53rd among NFL DE's; that's near the bottom end of 64 starting NFL DE's.

And people are bitching about it while I sit here and watch him beating the dogsnot out of Tackles and Guards every week. 

His cap hit is low because we just extended him.

 

it doubles in 2026 and doubles again in 27.

 

If you want to compare apples to apples, Micah Parsons has a cap hit of $4M more than Greg this year, $8M next year, and $5M more in 2027

Well he was under contract this year so he was never walking in 2025.

Wasn’t the idea that extending him resulted in a fair contract based on the market?  I think we got a good deal.

Just saw a Cover 1 breakdown of his play vs Houston and it was pretty good

 

There's much bigger problems than Greg on this defense

Rosseau is solid and he does a lot of the dirty work. He's not getting sacks or making some of the splash plays he did the last few years, which is too bad, but I think as much a product of the DT play and what he's asked to do. Of the newly extended guys, Benford and Bernard are bigger concerns.

Yeah.  Complete slug.  Sacks aren’t the only stat that matter for DEs.  🤦🏾‍♂️ 

Proof positive that the OP in this thread is one of the worst takes in some time on this board.

Just fantasy football/gambling mentality imo

 

Pretty much every time I say Groot is good and worth his contract here and on other boards I get a nice wave of negative reactions from all of the very smart and stable football geniuses that are "fans" of this team

 

If there isn't a big box score the player must be terrible

Best way to describe him - solid. He is not a game changing pass rusher (dare I call him high motor). He would be much better if they had a legit pass rushing threat across from him (Bosa has been solid but he’s not one of those special guys). 
 

next to receiver, Beane sucks the most at scouting pass rushing. Groot is far from a bust but he’s will never be a guy teams need to really game plan for and we badly need one of those guys.
