HOUSTON -- Texans star Derek Stingley Jr. said he believes his historic contract extension will be "big" for the position going forward.
On Monday, Stingley and the Texans agreed to a three-year, $90 million deal that made him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history and the first to make $30 million per season. The contract includes $89 million guaranteed.
Stingley's average annual value surpassed the previous record for cornerbacks, which was set last week by Jaycee Horn, who agreed to a four-year, $100 million extension with the Carolina Panthers.
