Texans re-sign Arian Foster
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7647019/houston-texans-reach-new-contract-star-rb-arian-foster-source-sayssnip-
The Houston Texans have reached agreement on a five-year contract with running back Arian Foster, his agent said Monday.
Agent Mike McCartney didn't disclose terms of the deal to The Associated Press, but a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that the contract is worth $43.5 million and includes a hard guarantee of $20.75 million. Foster will make $18 million this season and $30 million in first three years of deal, the source said.
Foster was a candidate to receive the Texans' franchise tender if the sides couldn't agree to a new contract by Monday at 4 p.m. ET, the deadline for teams to use their franchise tags on pending free agents.
In his second season as the Texans' starter, Foster ran for 1,224 yards and 10 touchdowns and made his second Pro Bowl this season despite sitting out three games.

I think the Texans are going to sit atop the AFC next season.
