Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson had his fifth-year contract option exercised Tuesday, April 28.

Footballguys View: The Texans were always going to make this move. It leaves Watson under their control for the next two seasons while they work on a long-term extension. Watson should be one of the highest paid quarterbacks in the league in the near future. We’ll see if they get something worked out before the Chiefs hand Patrick Mahomes a well-deserved monster contract.
