The Houston Texans continue to make moves this offseason. The team is extending veteran defensive end, Danielle Hunter, for one-year. The extension is for reportedly $35.6 million. A deal that will make him the second-highest paid defensive end in the NFL behind Cleveland’s Myles Garrett. Hunter is scheduled to make $32 million this upcoming season, which is a $12.5 million raise. He will also earn $55.1 million over the following two seasons. This includes $54.1 million guaranteed.
The five-time Pro-Bowler was on the backend of a two-year, $49 million deal he inked with the Texans last offseason. The Texans had one of the best defenses last season and Hunter played a vital role in their success. The team ranked fifth (49) in sacks. He was one of the most reliable players as well as he played in all 17 matchups this past season. Given his impact, it makes sense why Houston gave Danielle Hunter a new deal.
