Schultz, who was set to become an unrestricted free agent, has agreed to a new contract with the Texans following a productive season with the team.
Schultz, 27, joined the Texans last offseason on a one-year contract. However, his impressive performance in the 2023 season has led to a well-deserved multi-year extension. The financial terms of the deal reportedly amount to $36 million, with an impressive $23.5 million fully guaranteed at the time of signing.
During the 2023 season, Schultz showcased his value on the field, hauling in 59 passes for 635 yards, along with five touchdowns, in 15 games. This strong production undoubtedly played a significant role in the Texans' decision to secure his services for the foreseeable future.
Originally drafted in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Schultz spent his first five seasons in the league with the Dallas Cowboys. Over the course of his career, spanning 90 games, Schultz has accumulated impressive numbers, catching 270 passes for 2,757 yards and scoring 22 touchdowns.
The Texans' decision to lock in Schultz is a clear indication of their commitment to building a formidable offense. Schultz has proven himself to be a reliable target in the passing game, and his continued presence will undoubtedly provide stability and a valuable weapon for the Texans' quarterback moving forward.
With this significant signing, the Texans have taken an important step in solidifying their offensive lineup and retaining key talent. The team's fans can now look forward to seeing Schultz in action for the next three seasons, as the Texans aim to make a mark in the highly competitive NFL landscape.
