The Houston Texans and cornerback Derek Stingley agreed to a three-year, $90 million extension that makes him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history, according to multiple reports Monday.
Stingley’s average annual salary of $30 million smashes the previous record of $25 million set last week when the Carolina Panthers gave cornerback Jaycee Horn a four-year, $100 million extension.
Stingley’s deal includes $89 million guaranteed, per the report.
Stingley, 23, earned Pro Bowl and All-Pro first-team honors last season with five interceptions, 18 passes defensed and 54 tackles in 17 starts. He allowed the second-lowest completion percentage (46.7 percent) among CBs with at least 200 snaps in coverage, according to Next Gen Stats.
Drafted third overall in 2022 out of LSU, Stingley has recorded 11 interceptions, 36 passes defensed and 136 tackles in 37 games (all starts).
