It wasn't known at first how much Foster would be getting paid, but now we know the skilled running back is set for life.

That's a lot of money for anyone, especially a player that went undrafted. 

According to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, Foster will be with the Texans for the next five years.

This is superb news for Houston. Foster has been extremely vital to the Texans' success in recent years, and making sure he's with them for a long time will ensure that they'll be contenders not just in the AFC South, but the entire AFC.
