The Houston Texans have signed backup quarterback Davis Mills to a one-year contract extension according to Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle.

The new deal will keep Mills tied to the Texans through the 2025 season.  Mills was a 2021 third-round pick in Houston, so he was heading into the final year of his contract before agreeing to this extension. He started 26 games over his first two seasons, but moved into a backup role after the Texans selected Stroud with the second overall pick in 2023.

The Texans also had Case Keenum on the roster last year, but he was placed on season-ending injured reserve last month.

Mills is now set for at least two more years filling a reserve spot on the depth chart and the Texans will be hoping most of that time is spent clapping on the sideline rather than taking snaps.
