The Houston Texans and offensive tackle Tytus Howard have reached an agreement on a three-year, $56 million extension that includes $36.5 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday.
Howard, a first-round pick of the Texans in 2019, has started 54 games for Houston over the past four seasons. He had been slated to play the 2023 season on the fifth-year option of his rookie deal.
After the 2022 season, Howard had expressed an interest in reaching a long-term agreement with the Texans, saying he wanted to play his entire career in Houston.
