Ryan Griffin told Fox 26 in Houston that he is signing a three-year deal to remain with the Texans.
"I'm excited," Griffin told Fox 26. "I know what type of organization it is here. We were a win away from the (AFC) championship game. We need a couple more wins to get that ring. So I'm excited."
Griffin had a career year in 2016, more than doubling his receptions from 2015 and finishing with a career-high 50 catches for 442 yards.
He benefited from quarterback Brock Osweiler's high use of his tight ends.
