Texans poised to secure major extension for standout pass rusher Will Anderson Jr.
The Houston Texans are gearing up for what could be a significant contract extension for their star pass rusher, Will Anderson Jr., as the season approaches its conclusion. Reports indicate that securing an extension for Anderson is a top priority for the organization, especially following a standout season that has solidified his role as a cornerstone of their formidable defensive lineup.
Anderson’s Dominance on Defense
According to insights from industry sources, the Texans’ defense is currently among the best in the league, and much of that success can be attributed to Anderson’s exceptional performance. As the season unfolds, it is expected that discussions for a new contract will commence as soon as the final whistle blows.
Anderson, now in his third year with the Texans, has formed a formidable partnership with fellow pass rusher Danielle Hunter, helping to establish one of the most effective pass-rushing duos in the NFL. Their combined efforts have elevated Houston’s defensive unit to new heights, showcasing not only their ability to pressure opposing quarterbacks but also their prowess in stopping the run.
Impressive Season Stats
Through 11 games this season, Anderson has delivered impressive numbers: 36 tackles, 10.5 sacks, and three forced fumbles. His contributions have not gone unnoticed, as he currently ranks third in the odds for the Defensive Player of the Year award, listed at +1000 by DraftKings.
Given his status as a former top-three draft pick and his rapid evolution into a defensive powerhouse, it is no surprise that the Texans are eager to secure Anderson’s talents for the long term. With the offseason approaching, it seems likely that negotiations for his extension will take center stage as the Texans look to solidify their defensive future.
