Alright, so I’ve been digging into this Denico Autry contract situation, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a ride. I first caught wind of it on March 11th. I saw some chatter online about the Houston Texans looking to snag a new defensive lineman. Then I read a report, I think it was from Dianna Russini, saying that the Texans were expected to sign Denico Autry that very day.
I kept digging.
I found out from Aaron Wilson that the contract was going to be a two-year deal. Another bit of info I picked up said Autry agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract with the Texans on that Monday, the 11th.
Now, I’m a bit of a numbers guy, so I wanted to see the bigger picture. It turns out, not long ago, back in March 2023, Autry signed a three-year, $21.5 million contract with the Tennessee Titans. That deal included a $6 million signing bonus and $9 million guaranteed.

First, I noticed that he moved from a three-year deal to a two-year deal.
-
Second, the new contract, despite being shorter, seems like it might be a bit more lucrative, considering the figures mentioned.
-
Lastly, It was confirmed around March 15th that this 34-year-old veteran was indeed joining the Texans on a two-year deal worth $21.5 million.
My findings:
So, that’s the gist of what I’ve found on the Denico Autry contract saga. It’s interesting to see how these deals shift and evolve. I’ll be keeping an eye on how this all plays out on the field.
