Watson had 2 years left on his rookie deal but with the extension, he will now remain in Houston until 2025. Watsons $39 million per-year-average in new money makes him the second-highest paid player in NFL history just behind Patrick Mahomes.

Yessirrrrrrrr!!!!

We’re lucky to have this one in Houston.

A very well-deserved payday my friend!
