NFL insider Josina Anderson would soon provide an update as she stated that there have been “no serious talks yet” between the Texans and QB Deshaun Watson regarding a long-term contract extension.

According to Anderson, Watson is not in a hurry to get a deal done.

I’m told “no serious talks yet” b/w the Texans & Deshaun Watson on a contract extension. My understanding is Watson is not in a hurry. Despite CoVID factors on league economics, there’s optimism in the long-term financial stability of t/ NFL & where Watson fits into that picture.
