Saturday was a great day for the Houston Texans after they inked quarterback Deshaun Watson to a new deal that will pay out $156 million in new money, extending him four years beyond his existing rookie deal. The former Clemson star will reportedly cash in with $74 million in guaranteed money.
Not everyone thinks this is a game changing deal.
FS1’s Shannon Sharpe took to Twitter to state, “I’m happy for Deshaun, but let’s provide context,” Sharpe tweeted after the news broke. “With 2 yrs left on original contract, plus the 4 yrs ext. That’s less than 180 mil over 6 yrs. How gr8 of a deal is this actually?”
Him questioning the deal upset Jalen Ramsey, who fired back at him in the comments.
