The Facts: Watson's current contract -- which is pending a fifth-year option -- is heading toward a lofty extension. Coach and general manager Bill O'Brien indicated it's only a matter of time. "Very good open lines of communication," O'Brien said Friday, per NFL Network's James Palmer. "We haven't really gotten into the details of anything right now."

Diehards Line: O'Brien added that he and Watson -- along with Watson's agent -- have a great relationship and the Texans want the standout signal-caller leading Houston's charge for a long time to come. Currently, Watson is set to make $1.17 million in base salary in 2020 (with a $2.05 million signing bonus). Offseasons have been crazy these last two seasons in Houston, but the 24-year-old Watson has emerged as one of the NFL's top quarterbacks and a big payday is on the horizon.
