The Houston Texans locked up one of their own as free agency approaches. Outside linebacker Ufomba Kamalu re-signed with the team, per his agent.

The super-sized 6-foot-6, 300-pound linebacker has been with the Texans for the last two seasons. He has played sporadically as a strongside OLB.

The 25-year-old Miami (Fla.) product was an exclusive rights free agent, or ERFA, meaning he could only negotiate with the Texans. If they couldn’t reach a deal, Kamalu would have been free. He has three sacks in 13 career games.

Details of the new deal have yet to be made public
