    The Houston Texans have reached a five-year extension with running back Arian Foster, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports. Financial terms were not disclosed. Undrafted out of Tennessee, Foster ran for 257 yards and three touchdowns in 2009 before leading the NFL with 1,616 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2010, adding 66 receptions for 604 yards and two touchdowns out of the backfield. Foster was hindered by hamstring injuries in 2011, but still ran for 1,224 yards and 10 touchdowns with 53 receptions for 617 yards and two touchdowns to earn Pro Bowl honors for a second consecutive season. Foster was scheduled to be a restricted free agent in 2012.

    Schefter reported 5/43.5/20 guaranteed. From what I read he'll make 18 total this year and a total of 30 in the first three years.

    ah, a little more than i thought, especially considering the texans don't exactly have a ton of cap room.

    86WARD -

    And we now pretty much have Ray Rice's deal. Matt Forte's will probably be closer to Marshawn Lynch than Foster IMO.

    Not a bad deal for Houston at first glance.
