Last week, the Carolina Panthers made corner Jaycee Horn the highest paid defensive back of all time with a monster four-year, $100M extension that included $70M in guarantees. The Houston Texans took one week to blow that deal out of the water. This morning they extended their own cornerback, Derek Stingley Jr, with a three-year deal worth $90M and $89M guaranteed.
Stingley was selected by the Texans with the third overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, one year after the Panthers picked Horn at a similar draft position. Similarly to Horn, Stingley has only played one full season since entering the NFL.
