—
Houston Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. has agreed to a three-year, $150 million contract extension making him the highest paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
That's according to two people with knowledge of the deal told who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday because the deal had not yet been announced.
The extension includes $134 million in guaranteed money.
The $50 million per year Anderson will earn surpasses the $46.5 million per year defensive end Micah Parsons got when he signed a four-year extension with the Packers after a trade from Dallas last year.
