The Houston Texans linebacker Zach Cunningham has become a cornerstone for the franchise.

In an offseason in which all eyes have been fixed upon the contract negotiations between the Houston Texans and superstar quarterback Deshaun Watson, the team has been able to dish out extensions to other key contributors along the way, now including Zach Cunningham.

The first major extension of 2020 was left tackle Laremy Tunsil, whom the team traded two first round picks and a second rounder in 2019, who was then rewarded with a three-year, $66 million contract with $50 million in guarantees.
