HOUSTON -- Nickel cornerback Jalen Pitre and the Houston Texans have agreed to a three-year, $39 million contract extension with $30 million guaranteed, a source confirmed to ESPN.
The third-year safety out of Baylor finished the 2024 season with 65 tackles, six tackles for loss and eight pass deflections. One highlight play was in the Texans 34-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11, where he forced a fumble on Cowboys right tackle Tyler Guyton, which led to defensive end Derek Barnett scooping and scoring for a touchdown in the fourth quarter after Barnett had stripped sacked Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush.
