HOUSTON – The Texans signed veteran offensive lineman Jarrett Kingston to a one-year, $1.1 million extension.
The deal includes a nonguaranteed $1.075 million base salary, a $575,000 split salary, a $15,000 signing bonus along with a $10,000 workout bonus Kingston can earn during the Texans’ offseason conditioning program.
Kingston, 26, was an exclusive-rights free agent the Texans signed to a contract rather than assign him a tender for the 2026 season.
He was signed to the Texans’ 53-man roster off the Carolina Panthers’ practice squad. He played in two games, appearing in 32 snaps on offense and 12 snaps on special teams.
Kingston (6-foot-4, 308 pounds) is a former San Francisco 49ers sixth-round draft pick from USC. He can play center or guard. He played in seven games in 2024 for Carolina.
Kingston began his career at Washington State. He played left tackle, right tackle and right guard in college.
He has run the 40-yard dash in 5.02 seconds and bench pressed 225 pounds 36 times with a 31 1/2 inch vertical leap.
