Houston Texans edge rusher Will Anderson effectively reset the market for pass rushers on Friday with his new $150 million deal, and his agent is taking a well-earned victory lap.
Anderson agreed to a three-year, $150 million extension with Houston to tack on to the two years left on his current deal. That makes him the first non-quarterback to make in excess of $50 million annually.
Anderson’s agent, Nicole Lynn, couldn’t help but gloat a little after getting the deal done.
“Anybody have a brinks truck?” she wrote on X.

Lynn will be getting compensated well from this, too. You can hardly blame her for being pleased.
Anderson has already become one of the NFL’s most feared pass rushers just three seasons into his career. He was an All-Pro for the first time in 2025 as he collected 12 sacks and 20 tackles for loss while playing in all 17 games. No wonder the Texans made him such a high priority in the 2023 NFL Draft.
As for Lynn, she has established herself as the sort of agent who fights for her clients. She gets them plenty of cash in negotiations, too.
