Houston Texans sign CB Derek Stingley Jr. to 3-year, $90M extension

All-Pro cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. has agreed to a record three-year, $90 million contract extension with the Houston Texans, making the three-year veteran the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history on an average annual value basis.

Sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday that the pact includes $89 million in guarantees; the average annual value surpasses the previous record for cornerbacks, which was set last week by Jaycee Horn, whose four-year, $100 million extension with the Carolina Panthers averages $25 million per season.

Stingley, 23, joined the Texans as the No. 3 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. He has logged 11 interceptions and 37 passes defensed over the first 37 appearances of his NFL career; and is coming off an All-Pro season in which he totaled 54 combined tackles, 18 passes defensed, five interceptions and four tackles for a loss over 17 starts.
