Pro Bowl linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair agreed to terms on a three-year contract extension with the Houston Texans, NFL Network reported on Wednesday.
Financial terms were not disclosed for Al-Shaair, who became the second key defensive player to sign an extension with the team this month. All-Pro defensive end Will Anderson Jr. signed a three-year, $150 million deal ($134 million guaranteed) on April 17.
Al-Shaair’s current contract was set to expire after the 2026 season. Now, the 28-year-old is tied to the franchise through 2029 and coming off the best season of his career.
Al-Shaair, a team captain and first-time Pro Bowl selection in 2025, recorded 103 tackles, nine passes defensed and two interceptions in 16 games (all starts) during the regular season.
He has totaled 535 tackles, six sacks, five forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries and four interceptions in 100 career games (75 starts) with the San Francisco 49ers (2019-22), Tennessee Titans (2023) and Texans. He entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent.
