New Texans S Reed Blankenship<\/a> feels the sky is the limit for Houston\u2019s defensive group after a strong season in 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike you said, they\u2019re already a really talented group,\u201d Blankenship said at his introductory press conference, via NFL.com<\/a>. \u201cI want to come in and contribute as much as I can. But there shouldn\u2019t be any fall off. That\u2019s my mindset. There should not be any fall off. If anything, like I said before, there should be a sense of calmness. There\u2019s going to be another communicator in the back end. I feel like the sky\u2019s the limit for this secondary, for sure. I know all these guys are bought in. Why wouldn\u2019t you want to be? They all want to win. We have a winning mindset. I can already feel that in the building. I\u2019m super excited to get to work with these guys and really start to build relationships with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Texans G Wyatt Teller<\/a> signed a two-year, $16 million contract , including $8.5 million fully guaranteed with a $5.75 million signing bonus, and the deal contains two void years for salary cap purposes. (OTC<\/a>)
\nThe\u00a0Texans re-signed K Ka\u2019imi Fairbairn<\/a> to a two-year, $17.778 million extension that includes a $6 million signing bonus and $11.66 million total guaranteed, with annual salaries of $1.3 million and $4.33 million (both fully guaranteed), salary cap hits of $5.788 million and $6.695 million, and $10,000 per-game active roster bonuses worth up to $170,000 annually. The deal saw him become the highest-paid kicker in the league. (Wilson<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Texans DL Logan Hall<\/a> played with some elite players during his time with the Buccaneers and is now looking forward to returning to Houston, where he will be playing alongside star pass rushers Will Anderson<\/a> and Danielle Hunter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I can do whatever is asked of me,\u201d Hall said, via KRPC 2<\/a>. \u201cI have that versatility, that size. I\u2019m big enough to play inside. I think I\u2019m explosive enough and long enough to play outside. Ideally, for me, I think three technique is home. I love that position. But, ultimately, whatever is asked of me to do, I think I can do it at a high level.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited,\u201d Hall added. \u201cThey got some fire rushers in that pair. It\u2019s going to make my life a lot easier, certainly. It\u2019s really exciting. It\u2019s not going to be boring, you\u2019re not going to get stuck into the monotony. The blitzes and stunts and just being dialed in that way is really rewarding and really fun to play for. So, I think DeMeco is going to have a lot of good stuff like he has shown in the past. I\u2019m just really excited to be a part of that. What I was asked to do in Tampa, I think was kind of stand and bang, fight the good fight. I think here I\u2019d have more of an opportunity to pin my ears back and go, which is outstanding. I think cultivating that and continuing to soak up and absorb everything I\u2019m learning from coach Wright and everybody else around me. I think that\u2019s going to definitely add to my game.\u201d<\/p>\n
