Texans Lock Down Key Offensive Lineman Ingram
9 Mar
Summary
- Ed Ingram and Texans reached a three-year deal for $37.5 million.
- Ingram was a top-10 graded run blocker at guard per PFF.
- The contract secures continuity on the Texans' offensive line.
The Houston Texans have finalized a significant contract extension with offensive guard Ed Ingram, ensuring his presence on the team's offensive line through the 2028 season. The three-year deal is reportedly worth $37.5 million, effectively removing him from the upcoming free agency period.
Ingram's retention is a key move for the Texans, who are looking to rebuild their offensive trenches. He was acquired via trade from the Minnesota Vikings and quickly proved his value, earning a PFF grade that placed him among the top-10 run-blocking guards in the league. His performance last season also made him Houston's highest-graded offensive lineman overall.
This agreement provides much-needed continuity on Houston's offensive line, which is expected to undergo other changes. With Ingram secured at right guard, the Texans can focus on other areas, such as potentially adding a veteran center to bolster the interior. Management remains committed to aggressive upgrades despite the new contract.
Ingram's new deal solidifies him as a cornerstone for the Texans' interior offensive line. His continued presence offers a stable foundation as the team works to improve its overall offensive performance and protect its quarterback effectively in the coming seasons.
