On Saturday, August 1st, Houston football’s savior, Deshaun Watson, spoke about a few things. One of those was his current contract situation! His answers will SHOCK you. Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle had the scoop.
Deshaun Watson on contract talks: 'Football is the main focus. My agent is taking care of that. My main focus is being the quarterback and being the leader of this team.'

Well, that's rather anti-climactic. Watson did speak on Patrick Mahomes’ mind-bending contract, so maybe we’ll see some juicy gossip there!
Deshaun Watson on Patrick Mahomes deal: 'It was awesome. The friendship and bond we have has been great since high school. My representation and the organization has been talking. Timing is everything.'

It’s probably better to not make an enemy of the top player in the NFL (also now a part-owner of the Kansas City Royals). Of all the juicy bits from this interview, this one will bring butterflies to your galvanized stomachs.
Deshaun Watson on the organization and his intentions for future: 'I'm here. I love the organization. I love the McNairs. I love the city. I love the fan base.' Wants to win a championship 'I'm a Houston Texan. I'm locked in on being a Texan'

Doesn’t that just bring rainbows and sunshine to mind? In reality, we’re dealing with a cold, calculating (doesn't mean the calculations are right) organization that Is unafraid of making controversial moves, but I digress.
