BREAKING: Texans Signing WR Nico Collins To Extension

According to Dianna Russini, the Texans and WR Nico Collins are in agreement on a new contract extension. 

Russini says it’s a three-year deal that pays Collins around $24 million a season. Adam Schefter elaborates that it’s a $72.75 million deal with $52 million guaranteed and upside for $75 million in incentives. 

Collins was entering the final year of his rookie contract. He’s the latest receiver to cash in big-time this offseason. 

The Texans’ blockbuster trade for WR Stefon Diggs had created some speculation about what it meant for Collins long-term, but Diggs is only under contract for one year and Collis is now locked up until 2027. 

Collins, 25, was a third-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Michigan. He’s entering the final year of his four-year, $4,871,517 rookie contract that included a $902,921 signing bonus.

In 2023, Collins appeared in 15 games for the Texans and caught 80 passes on 109 targets for 1,297 yards receiving and eight touchdowns.
