Sources: Ed Ingram stays with Texans on 3-year deal - ESPN

Texans guard Ed Ingram will not hit free agency after agreeing to return to Houston on a three-year, $37.5 million deal, according to ESPN and NFL Network.

The deal, which was agreed to hours before the opening of the NFL's free agent negotiating window Monday, includes $23.5 million in guarantees, according to sources.

Ingram, 27, would have been one of the top-ranked interior offensive linemen in free agency this year. His return figures to help stabilize an overhauled offensive line for the Texans, who traded away two starters from last season — tackle Tytus Howard and guard Juice Scruggs — in separate deals earlier this month.

The Texans originally acquired Ingram from the Vikings last offseason. He was benched in 2024 with the Vikings but blossomed with Houston in 2025.

Ingram, a 2022 second-round draft pick, allowed the 12th-lowest pressure rate (6.4) among guards with at least 400 pass-block snaps, according to Next Gen Stats.

Ingram has appeared in 62 games — including 55 starts — in four NFL seasons.
