The Houston Texans are still preparing for the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season, and head coach DeMeco Ryans received great news with the confirmation of a major contract extension for one of quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cj-stroud" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CJ Stroud</a>’s key teammates for the upcoming campaign.



Stroud will be the leader on the field, guiding the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Texans</a> in their quest to reach the playoffs again in his third season as a pro. In 2024, the Houston franchise had a remarkable year but fell in the Divisional Round against the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, 2025 presents an opportunity to build on that performance.



In line with that goal, the Texans secured the return of a key player. Safety Jalen Pitre agreed to a three-year extension worth $39 million, with more than $29 million guaranteed. The information was confirmed by NFL insider Ian Rapoport.



<h2>Pitre’s impact on the Texans</h2>



Pitre is set to play his fourth consecutive year in Houston, where he arrived in 2022 as a second-round draft pick. His growing importance on the team has led him to appear in 46 games between the regular season and playoffs, gradually becoming a key piece for head coach Ryans.

Last season, Pitre started 12 games in the regular season and recorded a total of 65 tackles. His continued presence, along with stars like Stroud, makes the Texans a team that will rely on its young talent heading into the upcoming edition of the league.

<h2>Texans had already secured another key player on defense</h2>



Pitre’s extension follows another deal agreed to by the Texans earlier this year, strengthening that area of the field. At the beginning of the year, the Houston franchise secured cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. to an extension. He was a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

The Kansas City Chiefs‘ win over the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round of the 2025 NFL playoffs gave plenty to talk about, with the officiating under the microscope by the entire football community. DeMeco Ryans, however, made sure to give <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a> and company their flowers.



Even though the Texans head coach was frustrated with the referees just like many of his players, Ryans didn’t want to take credit away from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a>. Not only did he congratulate Reid, but Ryans also claimed that Kansas City deserved the win.



“For me, it is the frustration on all three phases. It is special teams, defense, and offense. We didn’t get it done. Congrats to Andy (Reid) and the Chiefs,” Ryans said, via ChiefsWire.



“They deserve it. They have done a great job over the past few years of being consistent, and that is why they have been champions: they consistently get the job done. No matter how the game goes, they find a way to close games out. Congrats to those guys, and I wish them the best moving forward.”

To hear this from the opposing head coach might be refreshing for the Chiefs, who have been accused of being favored last time out. Even a number of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans">Texans</a> players complained about the officiating at Arrowhead, but Ryans’ words should help to ease the tension in Houston.

<h2>Reid also heaps praise on Ryans’ Texans</h2>



Ryans’ compliments for the opponents weren’t one-sided, though. Regardless of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-chiefs-hc-andy-reid-makes-firm-statement-on-demeco-ryans-texans-amid-complaints-about-refereeing">complaints about the refereeing, Reid made a firm statement on Ryans and the Texans</a> to stress how much this win means for the Chiefs.



“That’s a good football team,” Reid said of Ryans’ Texans. “Phenomenal defense that they’ve got. I’m proud of our guys for how they handled it. We knocked a little bit of the rust off, everybody stayed positive and with each other and that whole bit, and here we sit with a championship game. I mean, we’re humbled to be in that position and we appreciate that we’re right here at Arrowhead.”



<h2>Reid sees a great coach in Ryans</h2>



Ryans and Reid used to be on the same side, with the former playing under the latter when Reid coached the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2012 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season. Ryans may have learned a thing or two about his former coach, having led the Texans to consecutive playoff appearances in his first two years as a head coach.



“This isn’t an easy thing, that’s a good football team. DeMeco (Ryans) has done a phenomenal job with that team. I had him as a player, now I get to see him as a coach and he’s doing great things as a coach, so [I have] a ton of respect for him and what he’s done,” Reid added.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a>‘s Kansas City Chiefs took care of business against the Houston Texans to remain alive in the 2025 NFL playoffs. The game didn’t lack in controversy though, with DeMeco Ryans and company complaining about the refereeing after the game.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-demeco-ryans-says-texans-werent-just-playing-the-chiefs-in-the-divisional-round">Ryans claimed that the Texans weren’t just playing the Chiefs in the Divisional Round</a>, echoing the feeling of many Houston players, including quarterback C.J. Stroud and running back Joe Mixon.



Reid, however, avoided adding more fuel to the fire. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> head coach made a firm statement on Ryans and his team, praising the opponents to point out how much credit his players deserve for getting this win.



“Yeah, I’m proud of them for what they’ve done,” Reid said, via Sports Illustrated. “This isn’t an easy thing, that’s a good football team. DeMeco (Ryans) has done a phenomenal job with that team. I had him as a player, now I get to see him as a coach and he’s doing great things as a coach, so [I have] a ton of respect for him and what he’s done.“

<h2>Reid praises his Chiefs despite the Texans’ complaints</h2>



The refereeing at Arrowhead on Saturday left many in Houston frustrated, with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-joe-mixon-delivers-strong-message-about-referees-following-texans-loss-to-chiefs">Mixon delivering a strong message about the referees</a> before Stroud echoed his teammate’s sentiment.


 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-cj-stroud-takes-big-shot-at-referees-after-texans-loss-to-chiefs-and-patrick-mahomes-in-playoffs"></div>

 


But far from addressing the opponent’s feelings or weighing in on the controversy about the refs, Reid showed nothing but respect for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans">Texans</a>. Additionally, the coach let everyone know that he couldn’t be happier with the way his team played.



“That’s a good football team. Phenomenal defense that they’ve got. I’m proud of our guys for how they handled it. We knocked a little bit of the rust off, everybody stayed positive and with each other and that whole bit, and here we sit with a championship game. I mean, we’re humbled to be in that position and we appreciate that we’re right here at Arrowhead,” Reid said.



<h2>What’s next for Reid, Chiefs</h2>



Regardless of Ryans and the Texans’ complaints, the Chiefs will be in the AFC Championship Game for the seventh consecutive <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season. Whether they’ll make the Super Bowl again remains to be seen.



Reid has already lifted the Vince Lombardi trophy three times with Kansas City, winning his last two rings in consecutive seasons. This time, he’s chasing an unprecedented three-peat in the Super Bowl era. But to punch a ticket to New Orleans, the Chiefs will have to beat the winner of the game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Buffalo Bills.

During his time as a linebacker in the National Football League, he accumulated around $48.9 million in earnings over his 10 seasons with teams like the Houston Texans and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a>.



After retiring, he transitioned to coaching, and in 2023, he signed a six-year contract with the Texans worth $28 million. This shift to coaching has been key to his financial growth, along with endorsement deals.



Thus, his fortune not only reflects his success in football but also his ability to capitalize on his influence in the sport and beyond, establishing himself as one of the most respected and well-paid figures in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>.



<h2>What is DeMeco Ryans’ salary?</h2>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250115_BUS_314290_DeMeco-Ryans-1024x576_cffd67ac.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-314321" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/15154631/DeMeco-Ryans-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/15154631/DeMeco-Ryans-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/15154631/DeMeco-Ryans-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/15154631/DeMeco-Ryans-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/15154631/DeMeco-Ryans-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/15154631/DeMeco-Ryans-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/15154631/DeMeco-Ryans-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/15154631/DeMeco-Ryans.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Houston Texans introduce DeMeco Ryans as head coach at NRG Stadium on February 02, 2023.

This agreement is fully guaranteed, meaning Ryans will receive the full amount regardless of the team’s performance or any potential termination of the contract. This financial commitment underscores the trust between them.



To put it into perspective, although Ryans’ salary is substantial, it is lower than that of some of the highest-paid NFL coaches, such as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a>, whose salary is $20 million per year.

Houston Texans head coach: DeMeco Ryans’ net worth: The rise of his fortune in the NFL

The Houston Texans‘ struggles continue after a crushing 31-2 defeat at home against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17. Despite back-to-back losses to the Kansas City Chiefs and Ravens, the Texans remain locked into the AFC’s fourth seed as AFC South champions. Now, the head coach DeMeco Ryans hopes the addition of wide receiver Diontae Johnson can spark their offense and provide the boost they need heading into the playoffs.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/demeco-ryan">Ryans</a> is optimistic about Johnson’s potential impact despite the receiver’s rocky past. “Diontae [is] a guy who has talent. He’s done it at a high level for other teams. He’s bounced around a little bit here, but as I mentioned to him, of course, it’s a clean slate starting with me,” Ryans told Texans reporter Aaron Wilson.



Ryans emphasized a fresh start for Johnson, setting aside the controversies surrounding his time with the Ravens. “It really doesn’t matter what’s happened in the past or what the narrative is about you. You come here, and everything is a fresh start. We’ll see how he can help us and what he can add to our team on the field and off the field,” Ryans added.



<h2>Can Johnson be the game-changer Houston needs?</h2>



Diontae Johnson has the skill set to be the offensive weapon the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans"> Texans</a> desperately need. Known for his ability to create separation on short and intermediate routes and make crucial catches in tight situations, Johnson has the potential to elevate Houston’s offensive production. However, questions about his consistency and attitude continue to linger, casting doubt on whether he can fully deliver.

The Texans’ offense, led by rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, has shown flashes of brilliance throughout the season. But the lack of a reliable go-to receiver has been glaring. Johnson now has the chance to fill that void and prove he can be a decisive factor in high-pressure moments, especially with the playoffs looming.

<h2>Catalyst or distraction?</h2>



The central question remains: will Johnson adapt quickly to the Texans’ offensive system and become the catalyst the team needs? Or will his history of off-field issues and inconsistency turn into a distraction at a critical juncture of the season? Ryans’ “clean slate” philosophy is admirable, but it places considerable trust in Johnson to rise to the occasion.



<h2>The playoffs: A make-or-break moment</h2>



With the playoffs on the horizon, the Texans have little room for error. Johnson’s arrival not only raises expectations for their offense but also adds a layer of pressure. If he exceeds expectations and becomes a dynamic playmaker, the Texans could emerge as legitimate contenders in the AFC. However, if he fails to meet the moment, his acquisition could be viewed as yet another misstep in the franchise’s recent history.



For Johnson, this is a pivotal moment—a chance to redefine his career and prove he can be a positive force both on and off the field. For the Texans, his success could be the key to breaking through long-standing barriers and making a legitimate push for the Super Bowl.
