"I am excited to know that I will have the opportunity to extend my career in the City of Houston, the place I have called home for the past 8 years.

Special thanks to the Houston Texans Organization and the McNair family for allowing me to continue my career here and a big thanks to my team and my agent Todd France for getting this done and always praises to God. Now it's time to rock on!"
