Yawn. He’s still needs to man up and be the leader of the team.
That’s what the best do. But, he isn’t one of them. He’s a little overrated IMO.
Hope he goes to Detroit or the Jets. Oh wait, he already said no to the Jets lol.

I thought the Jets were his preferred destination.

Brady left and went to Tampa. Many of the greats have changed teams, much less asked to change after seemingly endless disrespect.

I doubt you read the article, and you're obviously trying really hard to get a reaction here (par for the course), but this is a pretty embarrassing take.


Shows a clear lack of understanding of what "leadership" is.

So I can't read the article but ultimately I feel like if a player signs a contract with a team it's because he wants to be with that team, and he should be willing to uphold that agreement. Ultimately No one held a gun to Watson's head 5 MONTHS ago and told him to sign a contract extension. If he had such strong reservations about not playing for the texans he should have either not signed or requested a trade then.

I got it situations change, but this was 5 months he agreed to this extension. And not at all enough time to take it all back.

I have no interest in the NBA anymore because the player can just demand a trade and a franchise is powerless to stop it. I would hate to see the NFL become the same way. If players don't trust the franchise for whatever reason that's fine either don't sign along contract or don't sign there at all.

We should normalize the fact that players can and should have power, regardless of their contractual status.

Just as organizations have the power to cut players with time and money left on their contracts.

Hyperbolizing the fact that “nobody held a gun to Watson’s head” isn’t the point, but being brazenly dishonest, telling him he’d be consulted and trusted as the actual “face of the franchise” they told him he was, before doing the exact opposite, isn’t holding up THEIR end of what he signed up for.

Players aren’t obligated to just shut up and take it.

Nailed it. Player gets hurt, gets cut, “just business”.

Player signs an extension to capitalize off his current value, Team becomes a dumpster fire, requests to be moved. Bad leader, bad xyz.

I mean, to be blunt. Wentz signed a contract and got replaced. He should have took it like a leader, and stayed true to the team who signed him. Oh, wait, he also asked to be traded? Weird. The issue... changed?

I did read it. Wasn’t anything special and nothing we did know “other than that clip with his QB coach”.
He needs to man up.

Absolutely he needed to man up. He’s weak and never thought he’d be a true franchise guy to begin with.

Owners own, managers manages, coaches coach. Players need to play. If you had doubts, he never should have signed the contract. The article proved he had doubts but only saw $$$$$.
You’re screwed Watson.
The Wentz and Watson situations are not the same and needed to be handled differently.

We’re almost there.

Why are they different?
