Houston Texans star EDGE rusher, Will Anderson Jr. is now the highest paid, non-quarterback in NFL history. Per Adam Schefter, Anderson’s new deal puts him at $50 million for 2026, with a full 3-year contract valued at $150 million – $134 million of that fully guaranteed.
Plus, a rare “no-trade” clause. Yay us!
This means the Texans won’t have to worry about losing Anderson anytime soon. And that’s just fantastic news.
