## Resource

Houston Texans just sweetened Trent Brown’s contract with major 2026 bonus incentives—boosting his max bonus from $1.5M to $2.5M. Signed a one-year, $5.5M deal last offseason, Brown stepped in as starting right tackle for the final seven games and even played in their playoff win over Pittsburgh. With Braden Smith sidelined on IR for at least four weeks, Brown is set to start Week One—and could earn even more if he plays 70% of snaps, with bonuses stacking at 50% and beyond. His health remains a wildcard, but this move signals the Texans’ confidence in him to anchor the right side. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
