Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed discussions about a potential blockbuster contract extension for DE Will Anderson Jr., a first-team All-Pro in 2025. Entering the final year of his rookie deal, Anderson, who had a standout 2025 season with 12 sacks, is seeking a multi-year contract, potentially using Lions DE Aidan Hutchinson’s recent $180 million extension as a benchmark. The Texans traded up to select Anderson third overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, and he has a fifth-year option available for 2027.
