Only a week left before the start of the season and we now have conflicting information on the extension negotiations between Texans and quarterback Deshaun Watson. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler stated on SportsCenter that the two parties are, “not particularly close right now” to a new deal, with potential controversy being the length of said deal. “...expect some pressure to apply around Week 1. This should get done, but there’s not been a lot of momentum just yet.”
Yesterday Twitter bubbled with news on Watson’s extension. Ian Rapoport and the same nameless horde of others all made the same sort of announcement.
