The Texans continue to add big contacts to the payroll, the latest being the massive extension Bill O'Brien gave to left tackle Laremy Tunsil. Houston just exercised the 5th year option on Deshaun Watson's contract, but many believe a long-term extension is right around the corner, which could make it very tough to continue to pay J.J. Watt.
Number 99 has been very productive when he's on the field, but the Texans can't continue to pay his massive salary if he can't stay healthy. Watt has two years left on his contract and you have to wonder if the Texans would consider trading him if they got a decent offer.
