Ka’imi Fairbairn will be returning to the Houston Texans.
The Houston Texans are bringing back one of their longest-tenured players, according to ESPN insider DJ Bien-Aime.
The Texans have re-signed Kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn per source.
Fairbairn, 30, has been the Texans placekicker since 2016. He missed five games this year with a quad injury, but returned in time for Houston’s stretch run. In Week 15, Fairbairn’s 54-yard field goal in overtime against the Tennessee Titans gave the Texans a much-needed victory that helped them win the AFC South.
NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo reported on the terms of Fairbairn’s contract.
The #Texans and K Ka’imi Fairbairn have agreed to an extension, as @Djbienaime reported.
Terms of the deal: Three years, $15.9 million, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Makes him the fourth highest-paid kicker.
Only Graham Gano (New York Giants), Jake Elliott (Philadelphia Eagles) and Matt Gay (Indianapolis Colts) hold a higher cap hit than Fairbairn.
