I still think it's BS, but it's going to happen more often now, and teams with bad management are going to be struck by it more frequently. If karma chooses to let us benefit by it, I am not going to be sad.

I think Watson's situation is completely different from TW and KC. Watson is an elite player, with proven success, and in his prime. Also, both Cousins and Trent were part of a team that was constantly shit show, whereas Bill O'Brien ran the Texans into the ground within one year.
Given all the eff ups that the Texans as an organization has done and the terrible situation they are in (no draft picks/cap hell/etc., etc.), I don't blame Watson for wanting to get the hell out of there.
