Derek Stingley Jr. might have just gotten paid a massive extension, but it won't kick in until 2026.
That's a good thing for the Houston Texans since he'll be without the defending AFC South champions even longer.
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Texans will pick up Stingley's fifth-year option, keeping him on his rookie deal through 2026. After that, the Texans will pay the All-Pro cornerback $30 million annually as part of a three-year, $90 million extension.
While Stingley won't be the highest-paid cornerback in 2026, he will still earn $17.
