Texans spending spree continues with massive extension for pass rusher

The Houston Texans continue to dole out the big bucks for their top defensive stars.

On Monday, the Texans' brass inked a three-year, $90 million extension for Derek Stingley Jr., locking up arguably the best cornerback in the league until 2029. On Wednesday, Houston re-committed themselves to another defensive stalwart, as Danielle Hunter agreed to a one-year, $36.5 million extension through 2026 that will make him the NFL's second-highest-paid defensive end. NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero first reported the deal.
