The Texans have taken care of an important piece of business on Saturday.
Houston and second-round pick Kayden McDonald have agreed to his rookie contract, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.
McDonald’s fully guaranteed deal is worth just over $12.9 million.
The No. 36 overall pick of the 2026 draft, McDonald was the last player remaining in the green room in Pittsburgh when he was selected on Day 2.
McDonald was a first-team All-Big Ten selection and the Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year in 2025.
