The Houston Texans are re-signing defensive end Danielle Hunter to a one-year, $40.1 million contract extension, multiple outlets reported.
NFL Network reported Thursday that the contract includes a $30.7 million signing bonus and is for the 2027 season. Last March, the Texans signed him to a one-year, $35.6 million extension for this upcoming season.
Hunter, 31, originally signed a two-year, $49 million deal with the Texans in March 2024.
A five-time Pro Bowl selection, Hunter spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Minnesota Vikings.
In his two campaigns with the Texans, he has 27 sacks -- 15 in 2025 -- to go with 100 tackles (32 for loss), 45 quarterback hits, four forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. He played in all 17 games each season.
Overall, he has appeared in 153 games (124 starts) and has 562 tackles (140 for loss), 15 forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries and two touchdowns. His 114.5 sacks place him sixth among active players.
