Blankenship Signs Huge Deal with Texans

0:00On this March 9th, here's what's making headlines for the NFL. Philadelphia Eagle Safety, Reed Blankenship is switching teams, signing a three-year deal with the Houston Texans worth $24 million, $150,000. The move was first reported by Adam Schefter on March 9th. After four seasons in Philly, Blankenship leaves a Super Bowl winning squad from 2024 and heads to a Texans team looking to strengthen their backfield. Blankenship started 50 of 56 games for the Eagles as an undrafted free agent out of Middle Tennessee State back in 2022. He racked up nine interceptions, three fumble recoveries, and 308 tackles overall. His breakout came with three picks and 11 pass breakups in 2023. In 2024, he added four interceptions and six past deflections, helping Philly to that championship. Production dipped last season in 2025 to one pick in four deflections, though he earned team captain honors.

For Houston, Blankenship slots in as the top paid safety ahead of Jalen Petre, pairing with Jalen Reed to form a projected starter duo and boost in. Already solid group, this deal includes $16.5 million guaranteed and carries an average annual value of $8.25 million, a huge jump from his prior one-year pact worth $3.5 million.
