After trading DeAndre Hopkins when he wanted a raise, Texans sign LB Zach Cunningham to $58M extension

The Texans weren’t willing to give WR DeAndre Hopkins a raise. But Houston showed on Sunday that it was very willing to spend to keep LB Zach Cunningham.

According to multiple reports, the Texans and Cunningham agreed to a four-year extension worth $58 million and over $23 million guaranteed. That’s an average of $14.5 million over the life of the contract if it’s fully realized.

Hopkins, as you may remember, was traded to the Arizona Cardinals in March along with a fourth-round pick for RB David Johnson, a second-round pick and a future fourth-round pick.
