The Houston Texans are signing cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. to a three-year, $90-million extension, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Stingley’s deal includes $89-million guaranteed, Schefter adds. The 23-year-old is now the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history.
Stingley, 23, had a terrific third season in 2024, registering 18 passes defended with five interceptions. He was a first-team All-Pro and a Pro Bowler for the first time.
The No. 3 overall pick of the 2022 draft, Stingley has recorded 36 passes defensed with 11 interceptions in 37 career games.
