The always-smiling Will Anderson Jr. has another reason to beam this week.
The Texans have made Anderson the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, signing the pass rusher to a three-year, $150 million deal which includes $134 million in guarantees. Anderson becomes the first defensive player to reach a salary of $50 million, easily topping Micah Parsons’s salary of $46.5 million per year to become the highest-paid defensive player in the league.
