Happy this is done, removes a potential distraction for Watson and the team, although I doubt it would have been a big one for either.
Some fair comparisons to be made between this extension and the one Patrick Mahomes received this offseason. I like that Watson's is shorter. I'm honestly struggling to feel comfortable committing to guaranteed money for 8-10 years out for a player with ACL tears on both knees. Watson has certainly proven he's fine on both so far, but it's still a risk.
Anyway, congrats to Watson and congrats to the Texans, too. Having Watson will always keep them in playoff contention, and as a fan, he is a lot of fun to watch.
