The Houston Texans and veteran tight end Dalton Schultz have agreed to terms on a one-year contract extension worth $12.6 million, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The deal, which was negotiated by agent Steve Caric of Wasserman, rewards Schultz with additional security following a productive tenure in Houston. Per the report, the agreement includes $17.6 million in total guarantees when combining the 2026 and 2027 seasons.
Schultz’s extension marks another significant roster move for the Texans' front office this week. The organization continues to prioritize veteran leadership and stability, as this signing follows the high-profile addition of pass rusher Danielle Hunter. Schultz has served as a reliable target in the Texans' passing game, providing a consistent presence for the offense as they look to build on last season's momentum.
Schultz originally joined the Texans as a free agent and quickly established himself as a key contributor. By locking him in for another year, Houston ensures their young core remains supported by proven veteran talent at the tight end position.
