That assumes any other team wants to take on his huge salary given his age and injury history.....

He had one year left with 17 mil non-guaranteed money left in his contract it seems.

Watson is gonna get traded. Even though it's apples to asparagus, the team honoring Watt's request but not Watson's, will be considered racism. The build up to draft day is gonna be nuts this year.

Always the race card, used as an excuse to wrangle special treatment and concessions. What a joke. Watt wasn't in the first year of a sixth of a billion dollar deal. It is isn't racism and screw anyone who says so. Anyone who thinks Watson is going to get traded, this year especially, knows nothing about the mentality of Houston ownership and NFL ownership. They don't care about what fans do, winning and losing, it business and money, period. Watson deserves the cornholing he's about to receive from Houston. Serves him right. Let him holdout and watch the prime of his career and his prime earnings wither away on the vine. What a HOLE.

Sounds like Watt asked for his release and was granted it

Watson's team has already said hes done in HOU... It's over for them, in today's NFL, The player (especially QB) Has all the leverage. They are only saying No right now because the draft is still far out, once we get to draft week he'll be traded

Yeah, people who think Watson will just settle back down and play are missing the power shift that has gone on with star players, not just qb's. The fines and leverage a team has works well for vet minimum players, but those pulling in multimillion dollar deals know that their talent and value outweigh the penalties they might receive, up to and including sitting out a year. Most teams nowadays understand that.

Watson sitting out for any amount of time is very different than TW, LeVeon Bell, or any other cases that we've seen in the past couple of seasons.

I don't get why people think this way. Watson sitting out is just the next in the evolution/escalation of players standing up individually to declare a team incompetent or incompatible. As players become minor millionaires quicker, the desire to put their bodies on the line for teams that they see (right or wrongly) as not putting the same type of fight for the prize of winning we are going to see more cases of players cancelling their contract while they still have time to win it all.

@billbarnwell
The Texans aren't planning on having fans in 2021. Nothing to do with the pandemic, just their new philosophy

BOTH Maurkice and Mike Pouncey retired!

Don't care what Watson does, the cost will be too high so do not want him.

Sounds like he's a selfish, cry-baby bitch.

Maybe not run around every play like a chicken and with your head cutoff.

In hindsight, I'm glad they didn't hand the ball off to Beast-Mode.

my message to him would be give back some $ so we can sign a o-linemen. Then I bet Russ would be straight crickets.

They’re all that way. Dak was like....you need to sign my boy Zeke...they did. Now he wants his and there’s no money left and he’s wondering why. Think some of these guys need to pay more attention in the Econ and Business classes they take.
