Quarterback Deshaun Watson signed a four-year, $160 million contract extension with the Houston Texans on Saturday.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the terms of the deal. It's the second-largest pact in NFL history, behind only Patrick Mahomes' 12-year, $503 million contract.

Watson confirmed an agreement had been reached in a statement on Twitter:

Watson, 24, led the Texans to the AFC South title and a divisional-round playoff appearance in 2019. His efforts in the Wild Card Round catapulted Houston past the Buffalo Bills despite a 16-0 second-half deficit.

Watson has been sensational in a Texans uniform, completing 66.8 percent of his passes for 71 touchdowns with 29 interceptions in three seasons. He's also rushed for 1,233 yards on 217 attempts with 14 more scores.

The former Clemson star slipped to 12th in the 2017 draft even though he had led the Tigers to the program's second national championship in a come-from-behind win over Alabama that January.

Houston traded up with the Cleveland Browns to select him, and that move has turned out to be one of the best draft-day deals in recent memory.

Watson formed an excellent rapport with former No. 1 wideout DeAndre Hopkins, arguably the best at his position in the game today. However, Hopkins is now an Arizona Cardinal after a March trade that netted the Texans running back David Johnson.

Hopkins will be missed, but Watson's chemistry with Will Fuller V has notably resulted in 14 touchdowns in just 22 games played together over three years.

The magic started early in Watson's career, as he lit up the league for 21 touchdowns (19 passing, two rushing) in just seven games in 2017. But he suffered a torn ACL in practice, ending his season with the Texans at 3-4 and within striking distance of a playoff spot. Houston finished 4-12.

Watson looked great in 2018, leading the Texans to an 11-5 mark and the AFC South title. He earned a Pro Bowl bid by accounting for 31 touchdowns (26 passing, five rushing), completing 68.3 percent of his passes and averaging 8.2 yards per pass attempt.

The Texans lost 21-7 to the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Wild Card Round, but Watson bounced back in 2019 with 26 passing touchdowns and seven rushing scores en route to his second straight Pro Bowl campaign.

Watson has found success despite a litany of injuries to his wideout core, namely Fuller, who suffered a season-ending torn ACL in 2018 and was limited to 11 games last season because of hamstring and groin injuries.

The offensive line has also struggled at times, with Football Outsiders ranking it in the bottom six in adjusted sack rate in 2017, 2018 and 2019. The unit bottomed out in 2018.

Watson has been one of the catalysts for the Texans' recent success, so there's no question he deserved a long-term commitment, and he's now signed through 2025.
