Veteran corner gets a bump after strong 2022 season
Houston Texans defensive back Steven Nelson lines up for the snap during an NFL football game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, September 11, 2022, in Houston. – Texans veteran cornerback Steven Nelson has signed an upgraded contract that raises his total maximum compensation to $6.5 million, up from a previously scheduled $4.5 million this season, according to a league source.
Nelson was previously in a contract dispute with the Texans and didn’t attend any of the voluntary portion of the offseason before attending a mandatory minicamp. And Nelson famously posted a photograph of a blue vest, Texans general manager Nick Caserio’s trademark outfit, on his official Instagram account and said someone who wears a vest every day of the week can’t be trusted.
“Yeah, I’m not really going to comment on anything. I think a lot of these times sometimes it’s best to have a one-on-one discussion and dialogue, conversation. Better handled face to face. Steven has been in this league for a long time. He’s been a good player. DeMeco and I have maintained constructive discussions with him and his representatives. Take it one day at a time and see how that goes.”
“It’s great to have Steve here,” Ryans said. “Great presence. He’s a worker. I’m excited to work with Steven. Think he’s going to be a really important piece to what we’re doing. Thankful to have him here.” Nelson, who has recorded 393 career tackles, 66 pass deflections, four fumble recoveries, and two forced fumbles, is encouraged by how his first season in Houston went.
