(Sports Network) - The Houston Texans signed offensive tackle Eric Winston to a contract extension Saturday.
The Houston Chronicle reports the deal is for five years and worth $30 million.
Winston is beginning his third NFL season after being selected with the 66th overall pick in the third round of the 2006 draft. He has started the last 23 straight games at right tackle for the Texans.
Winston has surrendered just six sacks in his 23 starts. He was a part of the Texans offensive line in 2007 that allowed just 22 sacks on 529 pass attempts, or 4.0 percent of the time. That sack rate was tied for seventh-lowest in the league.
