HOUSTON -- Defensive end Danielle Hunter and the Houston Texans have agreed to a one-year, $35.6 million contract extension, a source confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.
Last March, Hunter agreed to a two-year, $49 million deal with Houston as a free agent. The Texans now have added $35.6 million to the back end of that original deal after his Pro Bowl debut with the team.
Hunter will get a $12 million raise in 2025, bumping his 2025 salary to $32 million, and in 2026 he'll receive the rest of the $35.6M extension.
Houston ranked fifth in the NFL in sacks (49) this past season and was led by Hunter, who was tied for fifth in sacks (12) while recording a pressure rate of 23.
