Will Anderson Jr. and the Houston Texans agreed to a three-year, $150 million extension making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history at $50 million per year. This is a landmark deal in the league's salary structure — defensive players rarely command non-QB money at this scale, signaling how elite pass rushers are valued in modern football. Anderson will be paid alongside the league's elite quarterbacks, a tier previously reserved almost exclusively for QBs.
