Texans

The Texans signed CB Derek Stingley to a three-year, $90 million contract extension earlier this week. Stingley described the moment his contract was finalized when he was working with his father and coach, Derek Stingley Sr.

โ€œWhen I found out I was working out with my pops,โ€ Stingley said, via Aaron Wilson. โ€œThen halfway through the workout he was like, โ€˜Oh dude, guess what?โ€™ and I was like โ€˜What?โ€™, and then he was like, โ€˜The deal is doneโ€™. Then, I was like โ€˜What? Thatโ€™s crazyโ€™. I was just saying that it was crazy.โ€

Stingley is grateful to have the trust of Houstonโ€™s front office. 

โ€œThat means a lot,โ€ Stingley said. โ€œEspecially throughout the years, just every single year it seems like Iโ€™ve gained their trust more. Theyโ€™re allowing me to be comfortable with who I am, whether thatโ€™s on the field or off the field. So, there was never any pressure to be this person or be that person. So, I think itโ€™s pretty cool. They actually believe in me, so thatโ€™s nice.โ€

Stingley was never focused on his contract situation and only paid attention to how he was playing. 

โ€œI kind of went into this situation just basically just thinking, like, โ€˜Just playing football,โ€™โ€ Stingley said. โ€œI wasnโ€™t really focused on how all of that was going to get done. It got done and itโ€™s cool. The market is different now, but that doesnโ€™t really have anything to do with me really. I am just here to play football.โ€
