The Houston Texans don’t have to worry about the attendance in the secondary.
According to Aaron Wilson from KPRC-TV, cornerback Steven Nelson will participate in mandatory minicamp at Houston Methodist Training Center Tuesday.
While Nelson was away from the team, he also retooled his representation. The 30-year-old hired David Mulugheta from Athletes First — C.J. Stroud’s representation — as his new agent.
The 5-10, 194-pound cornerback started 15 games for Houston last season, collecting 52 combined tackles, 1.0 sack, a tackle for loss, a quarterback hit, a forced fumble, an interception, and seven pass breakups.
Nelson is tied for 40th in terms of annual average compensation among cornerbacks at $4.5 million a year.
The former Kansas City Chiefs 2015 third-round pick signed a two-year deal in March 2022 with a maximum value of $10 million that includes $4.5 million guaranteed. Nelson gets a $3.5 million base salary in 2023 along with $750,000 of the salary guaranteed. There is also an additional $1 million per-game active roster bonus with $500,000 in play-time incentives.
