Christmas came a few months early for Deshaun Watson after he agreed to a contract extension with the Houston Texans on Saturday.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Watson's extension is for four years, $160 million, and it ties him to Houston through 2025. The quarterback will have an average annual salary of $39 million during the added years, the second-highest in the NFL.
Watson has thrown for 9,716 yards and 71 touchdowns while running for 1,233 yards and 14 scores through his first three seasons. At times, it feels as though he has succeeded in spite of the supporting cast and coaching around him.
