Overview
- At a Tuesday news conference, the Texans confirmed Anderson signed a three-year, $150 million extension with $134 million guaranteed and a no-trade clause.
- The $50 million per year average sets a new high for non‑quarterbacks and tops Micah Parsons’ $46.5 million figure from his Green Bay deal.
- Anderson’s rise includes Defensive Rookie of the Year, a 2025 first‑team All‑Pro, 30 career sacks, and a league-high 48 third‑down pressures last season since tracking began, per Next Gen Stats.
- Houston exercised his fifth‑year option earlier in April, and the new agreement keeps him under contract through the 2030 season.
- He said he cried with joy, plans to retire his parents, and made clear his focus is helping Houston break through the divisional round of the playoffs.
