Houston Texans Secure Jalen Pitre with $39 Million Contract Extension

The Texans have signed nickelback Jalen Pitre to a three-year deal, making him the league's highest-paid at his position and solidifying their defensive strategy.

Jalen Pitre agreed to a three-year, $39 million extension with the Houston Texans, including $30 million in guaranteed money.
The contract positions Pitre as the NFL's highest-paid nickelback, with potential earnings reaching $42.6 million through incentives.
Over his first three seasons, Pitre recorded 296 tackles, six interceptions, and 21 pass deflections, showcasing consistent on-field performance.
This extension follows similar deals for other defensive standouts like Derek Stingley Jr. and Danielle Hunter, signaling the Texans' commitment to building a strong defensive core.
Pitre, recovering from a season-ending pectoral injury in 2024, is expected to return for training camp and continue contributing as a key player in Houston's defense.
