Cornerback Johnathan Joseph signed a three-year contract worth $22 million, keeping him with the Houston Texans through 2017.
The deal replaces the final year of his previous contract, which was set to expire at the end of the 2015 season.
Joseph signed with the Texans as an unrestricted free agent from the Cincinnati Bengals and has started four straight seasons. Kareem Jackson is slated to start on the other side of the Texans’ defense.
The Texans used their first-round draft pick on Wake Forest cornerback Kevin Johnson.
