Mandatory Credit: Troy Taormina-Imagn Images The Houston Texans and safety Jalen Pitre agreed to terms on a three-year, $39 million contract extension, multiple outlets reported Friday.
A second-round pick in 2022, Pitre posted 65 tackles, eight passes defensed, one interception and one forced fumble in 12 starts last season before sustaining a chest injury in Week 12.
Pitre ended the season on injured reserve after undergoing surgery to repair a partially torn pectoral muscle.
Pitre, who turns 26 this summer, has recorded 296 tackles and six picks in 44 games (all starts) with the Texans.
This is the Texans' second big investment in their talented young secondary this offseason. Cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. signed a reported three-year, $90 million extension last month that makes him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history.
