Texans guard Ed Ingram will not hit free agency after agreeing to return to Houston on a three-year, $37.5 million deal, according to ESPN and NFL Network.
The deal, which was agreed to hours before the opening of the NFL’s free-agent negotiating window Monday, includes $23.5 million in guarantees, according to sources.
Ingram, 27, would have been one of the top-ranked interior offensive linemen in free agency this year. His return figures to help stabilize an overhauled offensive line for the Texans, who traded away two starters from last season — tackle Tytus Howard and guard Juice Scruggs — in separate deals earlier this month.
The Texans originally acquired Ingram from the Vikings last offseason. He was benched in 2024 with the Vikings but blossomed with Houston in 2025.
Ingram, a 2022 second-round draft pick, allowed the 12th-lowest pressure rate (6.4) among guards with at least 400 pass block snaps, according to Next Gen Stats.
Ingram has appeared in 62 games — including 55 starts — in four NFL seasons.
