With a special connection to QB C.J. Stroud and major talent surrounding him, Houston WR Nico Collins figures to earn his big new deal.
The Texans on Tuesday rewarded rising star receiver Nico Collins with a big-money extension, but his best may be yet to come. Houston and Collins agreed to terms on a three-year deal, a league source confirmed to FOX Sports, worth a reported $72.75 million . The former third-round pick posted a career year with C.J. Stroud at quarterback last season: 80 catches for 1,297 yards and eight touchdowns.
But the propensity of single coverage he may see could allow him to thrive. Diggs is also scheduled to be a free agent next offseason, as Houston wiped out the final three years of his contract after acquiring him from Buffalo. There's a chance 2024 will be his only season in Houston, which means that Collins' usage and production may skyrocket in 2025. And that brings us back to Collins' contract. At $24.
