Bill O'Brien revealed on Friday that the Houston Texans are "working hard" to sign Deshaun Watson to a long-term extension.

Watson made less than $3.8 million in 2019, which was just 4.88% of the Texans' cap. He is scheduled to make $4.4 million during the 2020 season.

"Deshaun is a great player, an even better person, and we want him here for a long time," O'Brien said. "... I know that we're working hard. We're not going to really talk about it in the media, but obviously we feel so strongly about him and the future of him in this offense, in this organization, and we want him here for a long time."

Patrick Mahomes signed a 10-year, $503 million extension earlier this month as a fellow member of the 2017 draft class.

Antonio Brown has been suspended for the first eight games of the 2020 season.

Teams with interest in Brown have wanted to know how long he'd be suspended for if they signed him.

Brown will be allowed to participate in training camp if he is signed.

The Seattle Seahawks and Baltimore Ravens are among the teams interested in signing Brown.

The Dallas Cowboys missed the deadline to get a long-term contract done with Dak Prescott before the 2020 season, but neither side seems concerned.

In his first comments since the July 15 deadline came and went, Stephen Jones suggested talks between the two sides were amicable.

LeSean McCoy has agreed to a one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

"He's very excited to play with established vets like [Tom] Brady and Gronk [Rob Gronkowski] in trying to win another championship," Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN.

McCoy will compete for time with Ronald Jones and Dare Ogunbowale at running back.

Damien Williams has opted out of playing in the 2020 season.

Williams finished 2019 with 711 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns in the regular season. Williams also had a pair of touchdowns for the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super bowl.

“As an organization, we certainly understand and respect Damien’s choice, knowing it was made in the best interest of his family,” Chiefs General Manager Brett Veach said in a statement. “He means a lot to our football team as a player and a person, and we’re going to miss having him around this season.”

The Chiefs used a first round pick in 2020 on Clyde Edwards-Helaire at running back. Darwin Thompson and Darrell Williams are also options for the Chiefs.

Lamar Jackson continues to lobby the Baltimore Ravens to sign Antonio Brown.

Jackson and Brown worked out together during the offseason.

"It was nice throwing to Antonio Brown [this offseason]," said Jackson. "I was hoping we would get him. I’m still hoping — a little bit."

Brown's status with the NFL is uncertain due to multiple conduct investigations.

John Lynch says the San Francisco 49ers are confident they'll get an extension done with George Kittle.

The general manager said he didn't "see any reason why we wouldn't be able" to get a deal done despite concerns about what the coronavirus pandemic will do to the NFL's salary cap moving forward.

It was reported back in May that the two sides weren't close to a deal.

"I knew that it might be tricky because of, you know, the position that he plays and things of that nature -- finding the right number," Lynch said.

The Seattle Seahawks gave up a huge haul to acquire Jamal Adams from the New York Jets, but they are in no rush to extend the All-Pro safety's contract.

Seattle sent two first-round picks to New York as part of the package.

According to sources, the Seahawks plan to wait until next year to open extension talks with Adams. There is a lot of uncertainty about what the COVID-19 pandemic will do to the NFL's salary cap going forward.

The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to a five-year, $135 million contract extension with Joey Bosa, according to sources.

The deal is believed to include $78 million guaranteed at signing and $102 million guaranteed, a record for a defender.

Bosa's extension also becomes the largest contract ever awarded by the Chargers and is the first contract to reach $100 million in franchise history.

Aaron Rodgers revealed he expects to finish his career on a team besides the Green Bay Packers. The Packers selected Jordan Love in the first round of the draft.

"I think that's probably what happens," said Rodgers. "Based on just the circumstances around everything, just look at the facts. They traded up, they drafted him, I would say they like him, they want to play him."

Rodgers signed a four-year, $134 million extension with the Packers in August of 2018.

Rodgers doesn't expect Love to wait to supplant him as he did early in his career with Brett Favre.

"Different scenario," Rodgers said. "Now I think quarterbacks are playing earlier, it gives some latitude for young coaches and GMs to play their guys, and I get it. I really do, I don't harbor any ill will about it."
