Texans' Stingley agrees to deal to make him highest-paid cornerback in NFL history, AP source says
HOUSTON (AP) — Derek Stingley Jr. has agreed to a three-year, $90 million contract extension with the Houston Texans that will make him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Monday.
The deal includes $89 million guaranteed, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced it.
It makes his average yearly salary more than that of Carolina’s Jaycee Horn, who set the record for cornerback contracts last week when he agreed to a four-year, $100 million extension.
Stingley, the third overall pick in the 2022 draft, is coming off a season when he was named to his first AP All-Pro team after ranking second in the NFL with 18 passes defended and tying a career high with five interceptions.
His breakout season came after he was slowed by injuries in his first two seasons. Stingley missed 14 games combined in his first two years before playing every game last season.
