He took the long term money then turns around and wants out cause his feelings got hurt.

I’m not a Watson apologist, but from what I’ve read the Texans leadership is a shit show and it’s a little more than Watson just having his feelings hurt.
I think Watson wanted to be with the team when he resigned, but with the no trade clause, it’s very clear to me that Watson and his agent may have been wise to what was coming with O’Brien trading all their best players for moldy cheese sandwiches.
Like I said, if he didn’t want to be there, he wouldn’t have signed, but he did, and even put a no trade clause in so he couldn’t be shipped off to the wastelands of a perennial loser. That shows he wanted to be a Texan. But things have continued to spiral downward quickly for this franchise. After events with O’Brien continuing to screw up, getting fired, Easterby jacking things up, McNair continuing to be a terrible owner, Watson being told by the team he would be involved, then not, his frustration is justifiable.
Texans won’t want to trade him to AFC. Out of the NFC teams, the most desirable teams for Watson to green light are San Francisco, LA Rams, Carolina, and Washington.
