If I'm to Shawn Watson, I will stand my ground.

The Texans organization is known for wasting players careers.

Since Jack Easterby has walked into the building, nothing good has happened in or for the organization, and for some reason, someone can't seem to see what's going on.

Pathetic.

DeAndre Hopkins, who himself was traded out of Houston last year, copied up on that and tweeted when Dre speaks.

Listen, so let's come out and talk about this a little.

There are very few hard, fast rules I have in life, Dominique, but one of them is when a quiet man speaks.

Listen, Andre Johnson really almost never said.

I didn't know what his voice sounded like when he was a great player in the National Football League.

So for him to say this, I think bears doubly interesting to me.

What do you think?

So this is related to those earlier stories we're talking about.

This is a legacy story for the Shawn Watson.

We're talking about guys defining their legacy that Shawn Watson is trying to define it early on.

So your point about Andre speaking is right.

Andre is the ghost of Christmas future, coming back to visit to Shawn Watson and tell him what his career can be there in Houston and potentially what it could be elsewhere.

I think sometimes it is overrated.

The idea of being a good soldier, You get one chance at this career.

One chance at this life.

If you have an opportunity, Thio change the context to make it better.

That's fine.

Being a good soldier doesn't work out when there is alarms going off, and you're just gonna sit there and keep giving people the news as if a fire is not coming to get you.

Shawn Watson knows that a fire is coming to get him, so he better get the hell out of there and make his career what he wants it to be.

Hopefully that your words are not prescient with regard to Graziano myself from the rest of us sitting here.

But let me come to you on that day.

What?

What What do you make of this?

This somehow the best thing that could have ever happened to an organization, which is that Shawn Watson fell to them in the draft.

He was the third quarterback taken the year that he came out, and he has turned out to be a top five quarterback in the league.

And let's say that conservatively, What do you think of this?

And Andre Johnson saying what he did well, to me When I saw the tweet, it just spoke volumes to me.

Greedy because, like you said, Andre Johnson is one of the quietest superstar is that played in the National Football League.

And for him to come out and say that it just spoke volumes to me about where the Shawn Watson is in his career.

Shawn Watson, 25 years old and just from from everything that, you know, all the you know, that Dan Graziano that you know Adam Schefter e I mean, listen, he was, you know, he was promised that he was gonna be a part of the process.

And then you look at you know, the fact that oh, we're going toe, you know, we're gonna hire the search firm, and we're gonna look at all these different pieces than next thing you know Nika cereals.

Is the GM another new England guy.

So you had Bill Bryant got rid of him.

Then you go back to the well to New England to hide Nika cereal, and I'm sure the sharp watches Like what?

What the hell is going on here?

Like you guys told me that I was gonna be a part of process.

And this seems like New England South once again.

And this is a young guy that's taking the bull by the horn and saying, you know what, have power here.

I have to leverage, and I want to use my leverage in this particular situation.

So, Dan, as we head into this off season of uncertainty and I'm gonna show you in a minute.

He was at the Rockets game last night, so he's in town.

Um, is there a I don't even know how to phrase this question.

What are the real possibilities right now that we could see DeShaun Watson traded this offseason?

I think it depends on how far he's willing to push it right.

Like if they're convinced that he wants to sit out, that he would rather sit out than play for them, then that forces their hand.

They don't want to trade him, obviously, and there's no indication, really that prior to this year that he hates it there.

He just signed a contract extension a few months ago, so but I understand he's frustrated.

My understanding is he's very angry with the way that the year played out.

That he was was the good soldier that he never complained.

He delivered at a high level performance wise in spite of everything that happened.

DeAndre Hopkins being traded etcetera, and he feels like he's being cut out of this in a way that is insulting to him.

So is the relationship irreparable?

And I think that's a question the team has to figure out how to answer in order.

Thio keep him from exercising the leverage that he may have.

You know, I just to sort of finish up the thought here.

The two best players in the history of that organization, R J.

J.

Watt and Andre Johnson.

Here's Andre Johnson coming out and and basically telling him, Don't let them waste your career and J.

J.

Watt walked off the field, apologizing to him for a year of his career being wasted.

Nothing cryptic about Andre Johnson, the Texans Organization is known for wasting players careers.

I mean, that is a thing To say publicly is a mess.
