HOUSTON -- When Nico Collins signed his rookie deal with the Houston Texans in 2021, one of his long-term goals was earning a contract extension.
When the wide receiver was walking toward the Texans locker room on May 28, Collins' agent Drew Rosenhaus called.
It was a quick call, as Rosenhaus told his client "congrats'' after sealing a three-year, $72.75 million extension, becoming the first draft pick under general manager Nick Caserio to be extended. But for 2024, Collins has new goals: The former third-rounder out of Michigan has his eyes set on exceeding his 2023 season when he had 1,297 yards (ranked eighth) and eight touchdowns (tied for eighth).
