Former Minnesota Vikings star pass-rusher Danielle Hunter and the Houston Texans have agreed to a two-year, $49 million deal, that includes $48 million guaranteed, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The deal has a maximum value of $51 million, Schefter added.
Adding Hunter gives the Texans a formidable pass-rushing duo of Hunter and 2023 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Will Anderson Jr., who recorded seven sacks in his first year.
Hunter becomes the second star player added on Tuesday by the Texans, who earlier agreed to a trade with the Cincinnati Bengals to acquire running back Joe Mixon.
The 29-year-old Hunter produced the best season of his career in 2023 in defensive coordinator Brian Flores scheme. He finished with 16.5 sacks, which was a career high.
