And in Watson's case he has a list of things he can point to creating disfunction. Hopkins trade, next to no weapons added, Fuller likely gone in FA, a Pro Bowl quality season wasted, management telling him they want to hear his opinion and then immediately doing an about face. While he signed a $150M contract (which lets be honest, he's unlikely to actually get all of), his good faith in signing has been undermined by the organisations actions. Why should he just shut up and play?
