Former Philadelphia Eagles safety Reed Blankenship will sign with the Houston Texans on a three-year, $24.75 million deal, agent Kyle McCarthy of Athletes First said Monday.
The deal includes $16.5 million guaranteed.
Blankenship, an undrafted free agent out of Middle Tennessee State in 2022, went from long shot to steady contributor during his time in Philadelphia. He started four games as a rookie and held down that post for the next three seasons.
Blankenship, 27, was part of a championship defense in 2024 that finished first in passing yards allowed (174.2) and second in opponent points per game (17.8).
With a rotating cast in the Eagles' secondary this past season, largely because of injuries, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio described Blankenship as a "stabilizing player in our defense."
Blankenship appeared in 56 games over four seasons in Philadelphia, posting nine interceptions, 23 passes defended and 308 tackles.
