The Dallas Cowboys awarded safety Malik Hooker a three-year extension worth up to $24 million, multiple media outlets reported on Friday.
Hooker’s deal will include an $8 million signing bonus and $16.5 million guaranteed, according to the reports.
Hooker, 27, is entering his third season with Dallas after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Indianapolis Colts, who made him the 15th overall pick of the 2017 draft.
Hooker matched his career high with three interceptions last season and made a career-best 62 tackles over 16 games (six starts) with the Cowboys. In 67 career games (44 starts), he has tallied 230 tackles, 11 interceptions, 16 passes defensed and three fumble recoveries.
The Cowboys have locked up three important defensive backs to long-term deals this offseason. After signing safety Donovan Wilson to a three-year, $21 million deal in March, they gave two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Trevon Diggs a five-year pact worth $97 million last month as training camp began.
