Hansen, the 27-year-old undrafted product out of Illinois, has been with the Texans for the past four seasons, and has been a prominent piece on Houston’s special teams unit, being active for 49 total games and two starts.<\/p>\n

He had signed onto a one-year deal worth $2 million earlier this offseason, and fast forward a few months later, he gets another payday, and even a bit of a pay increase.<\/p>\n

In eight games this season, Hansen has posted 10 combined tackles, six solo and four assisted.<\/p>\n

For his career, he has 75 combined tackles and two sacks, three tackles for losses, three quarterback hits, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery and two sacks.<\/p>\n

Texans defensive coordinator Matt Burke has praised the linebacker earlier this season for his versatility, filling in as a depth piece behind starters Henry To’oTo’o, Azeez Al-Shaair, and E.J. Speed.<\/p>\n

\u201cJake Hansen, he\u2019s done a good job,\u201d Texans defensive coordinator Matt Burke said. \u201cAgain, he\u2019s another guy I would say in that linebacker world that, literally, he\u2019s played all three positions for us. Mike, Sam, Will. He\u2019s done a good job kind of moving in and out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, the Texans lock up his services for this year and next, keeping their special teams unit in-tact.<\/p>\n
