Reports: Texans' Will Anderson Jr. Agrees to 3-Year, $150M Deal
The deal includes $134 million guaranteed and makes Anderson the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, officials said.
- On Friday, the Houston Texans and All-Pro defensive end Will Anderson Jr. agreed to a three-year, $150 million contract extension. The deal includes $134 million guaranteed, making Anderson the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
- Anderson recorded 12 sacks and earned First-Team All-Pro honors during a career-best third season. Since his 2023 selection as the third overall draft pick, he has served as the centerpiece of the Texans' elite defense.
- Reporting on the deal, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport noted it includes a no-trade clause and keeps Anderson with the team through 2030, surpassing Green Bay Packers defender Micah Parsons' edge rusher record of $136 million guaranteed.
- Aggressive team investments continue with this signing, following recent extensions for Pro Bowl defensive end Danielle Hunter and kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn. Houston also picked up Anderson's fifth-year option, ensuring his long-term presence.
- The Texans are looking ahead to other core players, such as quarterback C.J. Stroud, the team's second overall pick from three years ago. Stroud is eligible for an extension this year, though negotiations are expected to wait until next offseason.
