Sure he’s pissed. But he’s going to quickly realize he has ZERO leverage since he signed that contract and he’s going to get over it real quick.
I don’t know that I agree with you about zero leverage. He is the face of the franchise. The fan base is disturbed. Watson can cause huge problems. The fans in Houston worship him.
Watson has enough money to survive. If Watson believes his career is dead in Houston and he will waste his prime years and wants out he can refuse to play and they WILL trade him. It isn’t unprecedented.
I’m not claiming he will do this and I agree with you he will figure it out, but to say he has zero leverage I think is short sided, He has as much leverage as HE thinks he has.
If it were me... I would trade him to Atlanta. I am sure they would do a deal including picks and maybe even take Ryan if he would restructure.
