HOUSTON -- The Texans signed free safety Andre Hal to a contract extension, a source confirmed to ESPN.
The news of the three-year, $15 million extension was first reported by the Houston Chronicle. According to the newspaper, Hal received $7 million guaranteed.
Hal, a seventh round pick in 2014, is the Texans' starting free safety. Last season he had two interceptions and 48 combined tackles in the regular season and added an interception in the playoffs in the Texans' loss to the New England Patriots.
In 2016, the Texans' secondary was the second-ranked unit, allowing an average of 202 passing yards per game.
