These incentives, which include metrics like receptions, receiving yards, receiving touchdowns, and Pro Bowl selections, could increase his contract value from $92 million to $110 million. Watson has never achieved the requirements for the maximum totals, with career highs of 41 receptions, 620 receiving yards, 7 touchdowns, and no Pro Bowl appearances since entering the NFL in 2022.
