Of course you do.

Lol. Yeah he could not show up, get fired, then rely on the govt to live. Watson doesn’t realize how privileged he is

He got the no trade clause in because of that. Which means he gets to veto any trade to a team he doesn’t want to go to. So in essence it gave him a position of power to sign that contract and get out. 
 

some rumblings on the Texans boards this has been his plan since hopkins was traded. 
 

 

How stupid was Houston on that contract?

I guess shouldn’t blame him for wanting out of there

Outside of Washington they are the worst run franchise in the league. I don’t blame Watson one bit. I hope more of these players use whatever leverage they can to better their situations.

Also deshaun has said he doesn’t wanna go to a team that has to mortgage their future to get him. this to me signifies his price tag is going to drop. He has wiped all Texans related things off social media and is said to be ready to play hardball. He’s dug in.

 

What does "hardball" mean?

Can Deshaun afford it?

[Mr. Scot]

A lot of people aren't convinced that the Texans can be talked into trading Watson at all (I'm dubious myself).

But after seeing what the Lions got for Stafford today, if they do, the price is gonna be obscene.

Completely different situations.

He’s willing to sit out. 

[Shocker]

Scary to think what Watson would cost us.  Burns and 3 first rounders?  I mean Texans basically pick wtf they want if that Stafford deal is any indicator.  Fug.

I seriously doubt that matters to the Texans.

Word out of Houston was that they would have already been looking for an "unprecedented" deal if they relented. This news isn't going to change that. More likely it reinforces it.

Then they won’t have the qb play for them this season. The no trade clause and deshaun’s willingness to sit is unprecedented for a franchise qb. Deshaun has a ton of leverage right now and has already said he won’t be traded to a team that mortgages their future. The Texans are gonna have to give in some. I just don’t see deshaun playing for them ever again and I don’t see someone giving 4 or 5 first round picks or something stupid like that. I could see the same kind of deal as the Stafford/rams one. Can’t look at deals in a vacuum and say well this qb got this so this one will get more. There is nuance to this.

If you hate Teddy that much, just draft one in the top 10 and see where it goes.

It's already been reported that they're willing to let him sit out the season, fine him and go after his signing bonus.

Then that would be even worse for that franchise then trading him for two firsts and teddy lol. 

[@bonafidebanter]

IF Watson decides to hold out, I'm pretty sure Houston would become a little more accommodating.
