Source - Houston Texans signing LB Christian Kirksey to 2-year extension

The Houston Texans are signing linebacker Christian Kirksey to a two-year extension, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Friday.

Kirksey had 93 tackles — his most since 2017 — and a career-high eight pass deflections in 13 games (12 starts) last season, his first with the Texans.

A third-round draft pick in 2014, Kirksey spent the first six seasons of his career with the Cleveland Browns and then one year with the Green Bay Packers before joining the Texans on a one-year, $4.5 million contract.
