Danielle Hunter signs one-year extension with Texans

Danielle Hunter agreed to a one-year contract extension with the Texans on Wednesday, per league sources, keeping him in Houston through 2026. After inking a two-year, 49 million dollar deal last offseason, Hunter delivered in 2024, playing all 17 regular-season games and both playoff matchups with 53 tackles and 12.0 sacks. The new pact adds 35.6 million dollars in fresh money, including a 12.5 million dollar boost for 2025, locking in the standout pass rusher.

Fantasy Impact

Hunter’s 12.0 sacks in 2024 cemented him as an IDP stud, and this extension ensures he stays a Texans cornerstone—good news for fantasy stability. His every-down role and double-digit sack consistency make him a top-tier EDGE pick heading into 2025. Dynasty owners can bank on his prime at 30, while redraft players should slot him early in IDP drafts. Non-IDP leagues won’t care, but he’s a set-and-forget asset for defensive formats.
