The Houston Texans went all out on defense this offseason after reeling in several key additions through free agency. However, on Wednesday, the franchise rewarded superstar edge rusher Danielle Hunter by giving him a new contract extension. He’ll be a key piece to the defense for the long haul.
Hunter signed a one-year, $35.6 million extension with the Texans, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. He’s now set to make $54.1 million in fully guaranteed money in the next two seasons.
“The Texans and Danielle Hunter have agreed to a one-year, $35.6 million contract extension that makes him the NFL’s second-highest paid defensive end, per sources. Hunter will make $32M this season — a $12.5M raise — and $55.1M ($54.1M fully guaranteed) over the next two seasons. Deal negotiated by Zeke Sandhu of Klutch Sports.”
