Texans extend TE Brevin Jordan on new deal before free agency

Brevin Jordan is back with the Houston Texans for the 2025 season.

Brevin Jordan isn’t leaving the Houston Texans after all.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Texans have agreed to a one-year extension with Jordan, keeping him at NRG Stadium through 2025.

Jordan, who was expected to have a breakout season with second-year quarterback C.J. Stroud, was entering the final year of his rookie contract.

Expectations were high for Jordan after his 76-yard touchdown reception in the AFC Wild-Card Round victory over the Cleveland Browns, but his season was cut short in Week 2 after suffering a torn ACL against the Chicago Bears.

“It’s really heartbreaking losing Brevin,” Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said. “Brevin was on his way to a breakout year. I feel sorry for Brevin and the injury. Any time these guys go through these injuries, it’s always tough.”

Jordan is expected to make a full recovery and be cleared to play in 2025. Now, he’ll make up for lost time on a one-year deal that basically serves as a fifth-year option of sorts.

During the offseason, Jordan had improved as a lead blocker and receiver in the flats. He also learned how to play fullback and h-back to upgrade his value.

“If you want to talk about the heartbeat of this team, it’s just who he is. Somebody who loves hard and he loves everyone in this building,” Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud said. “He loves ball and I think he was really getting his momentum on just who he wanted to be in this league and how he wanted to approach practice.”

Jordan is now the third player inked to an extension from Nick Caserio’s first draft class of 2021. Wide receiver Nico Collins signed a three-year, $72.5 million deal before the start of the regular season. Quarterback Davis Mills also agreed to a one-year extension earlier this season.

For his career, Jordan’s hauled in 53 passes for 532 yards and five touchdowns.
