The Houston Texans agreed to a one-year, $35.6 million contract extension on Wednesday to make defensive end Danielle Hunter the league's second-highest-paid defensive end, sources told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Hunter will make $32 million in 2025 (a $12.5 million raise) and $55.1 million ($54.1 million fully guaranteed) over the next two seasons. After signing a two-year, $49 million contract with Houston last offseason, the 30-year-old five-time Pro Bowler had 46 tackles (31 solo), 12 sacks, 17 tackles for loss, 23 QB hits and a forced fumble in 17 regular-season starts in his first year with the team. The former third-round pick (88th overall) by the Minnesota Vikings in 2015 out of LSU has been a Pro Bowler in each of the last three years and has double-digit sacks in each of the last three years as well. He has 99.5 career sacks in nine NFL seasons and will be a starting defensive lineman in IDP leagues yet again.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
