HOUSTON -- The Texans signed outside linebacker Brennan Scarlett to a one-year contract extension, the team announced Wednesday, putting him under contract with Houston through 2020.
Terms were not disclosed, but the Houston Chronicle reported the deal is worth $3.75 million. Scarlett is scheduled to make $2.025 million in base salary this season after signing his restricted free-agent tender.
With Jadeveon Clowney yet to sign his franchise tender, Scarlett has been starting at his outside linebacker spot in training camp. Whitney Mercilus starts at the other outside linebacker spot.
