Texans' Quintin Demps on his future, A.J. Bouye: 'Pay the man'

It was a breakthrough season for Texans veteran strong safety Quintin Demps punctuated by a career-high six interceptions.

Demps adeptly and alertly disrupted passing lanes, finishing first among all NFL safeties in interceptions and ranking second overall in the league.

After the 31-year-old played last season under a one-year, $1.5 million contract, the San Antonio native is hoping for long-term security. He's played on one-year deals each of the past five seasons, including his stints with the Texans, Kansas City Chiefs and New York Giants.

A married father with two sons and two daughters, Demps has positioned himself for a new contract whether that's with the Texans or another NFL team as he approaches free agency with a positive attitude.
