WINSTON SIGNS EXTENSION WITH TEXANS

A league source tells us that the Houston Texans have signed right tackle Eric Winston to a five-year, $30 million extension.
The deal includes $10 million in guaranteed money.
Winston was the second player selected in the third round of the 2006 draft. His rookie deal runs through the 2008 season, and he was due to earn $445,000 this year.
He appeared in twelve games and started seven as a rookie. Last year, he started every game for the Texans.
We’re told that the deal makes him one of the three highest-paid right tackles in the league.
