Safety Reed Blankenship and the Texans Agree on $24.75 Million, 3-Year Contract, AP Source Says
- On March 9, 2026, Reed Blankenship, safety, agreed to join the Houston Texans in free agency on a three-year deal with $8.25 million average annual value and $16.5 million guaranteed, ESPN and Adam Schefter reported.
- After rising from undrafted status in 2022, Blankenship's journey from Middle Tennessee State to a Super Bowl role made him an attractive target for Houston, which pursued him for defensive stability.
- Statistically, Blankenship's career totals show 308 tackles, nine interceptions and 23 pass breakups, and he contributed 27 tackles and a forced fumble during the 2023 postseason.
- With Blankenship leaving, Philadelphia must find a new starting safety to pair with Andrew Mukuba, who will return from injury next season, while retaining flexibility and nine 2026 NFL Draft assets.
- Compared with his early contracts, Blankenship's new agreement is a major raise over his previous one-year $3.5 million contract and his initial $5,000 signing bonus and $55,000 guaranteed.
