The Houston Texans added some beef to their defensive line with former New Orleans Saints and New York Jets defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins.
Aaron Wilson from KPRC-TV was able to obtain the details from the contract. The former 2016 first-round pick has a one-year, $9.75 million contract with $8.5 million guaranteed.
Sheldon has a $7 million signing bonus with $1.5 million of that money guaranteed.
The former Louisville product earns $73,528 per game active roster bonus, and gets a $750,000 playtime incentive.
Rankins provided the Jets with 40 combined tackles, nine tackles for loss, 14 quarterback hits, 6.0 sacks, a forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries through 31 games, 18 of which he started.
