Overview
- Houston announced the three-year deal Friday, keeping the 28-year-old linebacker under contract through 2029.
- The team did not release terms, though multiple outlets reported a value of about $54 million.
- The extension continues a run of defensive commitments that included Will Anderson Jr.'s three-year, $150 million pact and Danielle Hunter's one-year, $40.1 million deal.
- Al-Shaair made his first Pro Bowl last season after recording 103 tackles, nine passes defended and two interceptions in 16 starts as Houston’s defense allowed the fewest yards and the second-fewest points in the NFL.
- The former undrafted free agent has 535 career tackles in 100 games and said the Texans feel like family in a team video confirming the signing.
