The Houston Texans recently signed tight end Dalton Schultz to a new deal. After signing him last season on a one-year prove-it deal, he proved it by having a career season.

The former Dallas Cowboys tight end is already winning fans over by calling out his former team for operating like a zoo, and now he will be able to make the fan base happy for a few more years to come.

Earlier this week, it was announced that Schultz signed a three-year, $36 million deal, which includes $23.5 million fully guaranteed with a $7.5 million signing bonus, according to NFL insider and Texans beat reporter Aaron Wilson.

Schultz has fully guaranteed base salaries of $5 million and $11 million, respectively, in 2024 and 2025. He is due an $11 million nonguaranteed base salary in 2026.
