Wow. Watson is brave in trusting that Bill O’Brien will provide him options that aren’t broken or spent moving forward.

I admire his loyalty, but good grief.

Eh he’s taking the big pay day first and then can worry about that kind of stuff going into his second contract extension

Given his injury history, he’s gotta secure that first payday first

The fact that offensive and defensive linemen continue to let themselves be so undervalued is crazy.

$40m a year for a good QB.

How much does his entire offensive line make?

at least he will have overpaid Woke Watt cheering him on from the sideline injury tent

Tunsil is the highest paid LT in the league and they just gave their center 51 mil.

Much easier to find elite talent on the Oline/Dline than it is to find an elite QB. That’s why their value is where it’s at not because “they continue to allow it to”

Meh. He has injury history and was able to secure frick you money for several generations. And if he stays healthy he will still have several years close to his prime to chase a ring after this deal is up

Agree.

First contract is slotted.

Second contract is the big payday.

Third and after are for chasing a ring if you don't already have one.

I think you’re confusing the Colts and Texans on the center. Texans just paid ILB Zach Cunningham $58M. David Johnson, Brandin Cooks, and Randall Cobb are all on contracts with awful value unless Cooks stays healthy. LB Bernardrick McKinney is another one who will probably be gone after this year.

I think you have do what you did for Watson, Tunsil, and Cunningham but the other contracts on the team could make it difficult in a couple of years.

It's 4/5 years. Watson would be 29(?) at the end of this contract .

This isn't some lifelong franchise committement.
