HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans and tight end Dalton Schultz agreed to a one-year extension worth $12.6 million, a source told ESPN on Friday.
Schultz was the Texans’ No. 2 receiving threat for quarterback C.J. Stroud in 2025. He finished the season with a team- and career-high 82 catches and 777 receiving yards, second on the team behind Pro Bowl wideout Nico Collins (1,117).
Schultz was entering the final season of the three-year, $36 million deal he signed in the 2024 offseason. He initially signed with the Texans on a one-year, $10 million contract in 2023.
The extension locks Schultz in through the 2027 season.
The former Stanford standout was a fourth-round pick by the Cowboys in 2018. He spent five seasons in Dallas before moving in-state to Houston.
For his career, Schultz has totaled 4,066 receiving yards, 27 receiving touchdowns and 405 receptions over eight seasons.
HIs extension caps a busy week for the Texans, who, among other moves, acquired running back David Montgomery in a trade with the Detroit Lions and extended All-Pro defensive end Danielle Hunter for $40 million.
