The Houston Texans have agreed to terms with tight end Dalton Schultz on a one-year, $12.6-million extension, sources told Ian Rapoport.

Schultz was previously only under contract through the 2026 season. He’ll now take in $17.6 million guaranteed over 2026 and 2027, Rapoport adds.

His 777 receiving yards were the second most of his career, trailing only the 808 receiving yards he had in 2021 as a member of the Dallas Cowboys. Schultz also recorded a career high in receptions with 82 last year. No other Texans pass-catcher would end up surpassing that total, showing how much of a saftey blanket he is for quarterback CJ Stroud.

Houston has made some important moves this offseason to retool their team. Two other big signings are David Montgomery the re-signed of pass rusher Danielle Hunter.
