The Houston Chronicle’s John McClain reported on the Ultimate Texans blog, that Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt has agreed to a $100 million deal for the next six seasons.

In the article by McClain it states:

"“When Texans defensive end J.J. Watt signs his six-year, $100 million contract extension that includes $51.876 million guaranteed, he will become the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history.”"

If any player in the NFL is deserving of what he’s being paid for it is Watt, because without him the Texans defense doesn’t amount to much. He is entering his fourth season, and the prime of his NFL career.

I say that and he’s already won the Associated Press NFL Defensive Player of the Year award in ’12, his season season in the NFL.I believe the best is yet to come from Watt.

In ’13 Watt had 80 combined tackles (65 solo) with 10.5 sacks and four forced fumbles. In his Defensive POY season on ’12 Watt totaled 81 combined tackles (69 solo) with 20.5 sacks and four forced fumbles.
