Houston-the corner of Nickel Jalen Pitre and the Houston Texans agreed to an extension of the contract of three years and $ 39 million with $ 30 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN.
Baylor’s third year security ended the 2024 season with 65 tacle, six cups for loss and eight deviations of passes. A prominent play was in the victory of the Texens 34-10 over the Dallas Cowboys in week 11, when he forced a loose ball on the Cowboys Tackle of the Cowboys. That led the Derek Barnett defensive wing to take out and score for a touchdown in the last quarter after Barnett had the Cowboy Marshal, Cooper Rush.
The Pitre season was interrupted in week 12 when his shoulder was injured in the defeat of the Texans 32-27 against the Tennessee Titans when he approached Tyler Boyd of the Titans in the second quarter. At the time of the lesion, Pitre occupied third place in the team in Tacoledas, tied in fifth place in tacle for loss and third in deviations of passes.
This is the third defensive player this season to win an extension with the Texans after the corner Derek Stingley and Danielle Hunter agreed mass contracts. Coach Demeco Ryans said at the annual league meetings that Houston wanted to send a “message” with these extensions.
“We want to send a message,” Ryans said. “For all our young people, when you do it in the right way, guys like Stingley, Nico, young boys who entered and played very well for us, became the best players in the league in their positions, you want to reward those boys.”
Pitre’s 2024 campaign was his second remarkable season after having a highlight of a prominent rookie when he ended with 147 cups and five interceptions.
