Reports: Texans, WR Nico Collins agree to three-year, $72.75 million extension
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has agreed to a three-year, $72.75 million extension, according to reports by ESPN.com and NFL.com.
The deal includes $52 million in guaranteed money and secures Collins with the franchise that took him in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft.
The 25-year-old Collins was set to become an unrestricted free at the end of the 2024 season.
Collins had a breakout year in 2023, catching 80 passes for 1,297 yards and eight touchdowns after catching 70 passes for 927 years, combined during his first two NFL seasons.

Securing Collins means the Texans go into the 2024 season with a triple threat at wide receiver, with Tank Dell back in the fold after returning from injury and Stefon Diggs, who was traded from Buffalo last month.
