Good news for the Texans! C.J. Stroud’s team, the Houston Texans, entered the NFL offseason by hitting a reset button to bolster their roster. And guess what? They are successfully doing so. They traded underperforming blockers such as Laremy Tunsil and Kenyon Green to the Commanders and Eagles, respectively. But now, this week, they have decided to continue with their star defensive end.
According to Tom Pelissero on X, “The #Texans and Danielle Hunter have agreed to a one-year, $35.6 million contract extension that makes him the NFL’s second-highest paid defensive end, per sources. Hunter will make $32M this season — a $12.5M raise — and $55.1M ($54.1M fully guaranteed) over the next two seasons. Deal negotiated by @ZekeSandhu of @KlutchSports.” That’s indeed a big and interesting news. Congratulations to this C.J. Stroud’s teammate.
To the people who are unaware, last year, DeMeco Ryans‘s Texans signed Hunter to a two-year contract. With that one year is over now, C.J. Stroud’s team has added another for him. And why shouldn’t they? Afterall, the athlete did perform well by being the franchise’s top pass rusher.

Besides him, C.J. Stroud is also getting an additional advantage this offseason. The offense is going to strengthen up for the quarterback as the Texans are reportedly signing free-agent offensive tackle Cam Robinson to a one-year deal. And as per reports, the contract can reach up to $14.5M for next season.
