The Texans have struck a new deal with kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. It’s a fresh four-year deal, he hears, but financial terms of the pact are not yet known.
Before the deal, Fairbairn was slated to reach unrestricted free agency. The new deal will keep him under contract through the 2023 season.
Since coming to Houston in 2017, Fairbairn has connected on 77 of 92 field-goal tries and 111 of his 121 extra-point attempts. He’ll try to keep up the good special teams work along with punter Bryan Anger, who recently re-upped with the team on a a three-year, $8.25M deal.
The new deal, presumably, will give Fairbairn a bump on his $3.095M salary from last year.
