Not long after dolling out one massive extension, the Houston Texans have paid the other half of the NFL’s most prolific sack tandem.
Will Anderson Jr. and the Texans agreed to terms on a three-year, $150 million extension on Friday, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.
Rapoport added that Anderson’s deal, which makes him the highest-paid non-QB ever, includes $134 million guaranteed and also includes a non-trade clause.
The record-setting deal comes on the heels of Anderson’s first-career first-team All-Pro campaign in 2025 after he posted a career-best 12 sacks this past year. His three forced fumbles, 54 tackles, 20 tackles for loss and 23 QB hits were likewise tops for his career, and Anderson’s 85 QB pressures were second in the NFL, according to Next Gen Stats.
Anderson’s new contract also comes after his running mate, Danielle Hunter, received a one-year, $40.1 million extension on March 5. Houston’s Anderson and Hunter were the only teammates to each finish in the league’s top 10 in sacks during 2025.
Working out an extension for Anderson was one of Houston’s priorities this offseason, Rapoport reported on Feb. 26.
