Twitter Reacts to Deshaun Watson Officially Requesting a Trade

Looks like Deshaun wants gone. Houston Texans star quarterback Deshaun Watson has officially requested a trade from the Houston Texans after rumors have swirled for weeks, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. According to Schefty, Watson actually did so weeks ago, though it was not reported until now. This news comes following The Texans announcing on Wednesday that they hired Ravens assistant head coach David Culley as their new head coach, but the hire “has not and will not alter Watson’s thinking.”

Deshaun Watson's passer rating has been at least one standard deviation better than average in 3 of his first 4 seasons

He's the sixth QB to do that, the other five are Mahomes, Marino, Montana, Roethlisberger, and Wilson https://t.co/DOr7r2pb1Z

Hope you’re happy, Cal McNair. You’re literally the worst thing ever to happen to Houston sports & everyone in this city will hate your ignorant guts for the rest of your life—no matter what you do from here on out. In a town that loathed Bud Adams, you’ve eclipsed him. Amazing. https://t.co/MWTMmp7XTx

The biggest problem here for the Texans is much of Watson’s issue is rooted with owner Cal McNair. And McNair’s not selling the team.

I don’t know how Nick Caserio and David Culley solve this. I do know Watson’s no-trade clause gives him a fair amount of control. https://t.co/rLCt7YxJwY

On behalf of the fans of @WashingtonNFL I would like to formally request we do WHATEVER it takes to see if Mr. Watson can join Terry McLaurin, Antonio Gibson, Logan Thomas & the best young defense in the NFL. And then sign Will Fuller as a free agent. https://t.co/obZSxw5Dsq

Bill Belichick: "Heard about the news."

Nick Caserio: "It is what it is."

Belichick: "Remember how you mentioned being forever grateful to the Patriots and blessed in ways that could never be repaid? I have an idea…" https://t.co/juIeSSx39i

Cal McNair ruined this team. https://t.co/S65HP2tTCF

Sounds like The @nyjets or The @MiamiDolphins. Either is a an upgrade for @deshaunwatson. https://t.co/EO1Xk9YV0t

Watson is still under contract with the Texans for another five seasons, so Houston doesn’t have to do anything. Of course Watson could just refuse to play.

This is how it all starts, there’s really no reconciliation at this point.
