Didn't somebody say this earlier in the week? I mean, this looks like Watson confirming it.

Found it. It was Schefter, on Sunday.

Also worth noting: One source said this week that, after Houston traded Pro Bowl wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins last off-season, Deshaun Watson’s anger level was “a 2….This time, it’s a 10.” https://t.co/CsqZYbe3OK

If he was a fan of "Spinal Tap" he'd be at 11.

The Patriot Way may be a prescribed burn. After Mangini with the Jets. Two AFC Championship games. After McDaniels in Denver. Manning and two Super Bowls. After Pioli & Crennel KC gets PMII.

The Texans could have kept Watson or traded him for enough picks to start over. With non Patty Melts

A source close to Deshaun Watson told SI.com that Watson "just wants out” of the Texans.

This comes after Watson tweeted his frustrations with the Texans' front office. Watson has a fractured relationship with EVP Jack Easterby and reportedly considers owner Cal McNair’s remarks regarding their relationship "patronizing." The Texans didn't consult Watson before hiring GM Nick Caserio and failed to interview Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy, who Watson recommended, during the Wild Card round. The Texans may have to pick between keeping Watson and firing Easterby this offseason.

Pioli once hoodwinked Clark. Remember- Clark didn't want to fire Pioli initially. He was his friend, after all. Even brought him along and had him eat shit on the committee that hired Andy Reid.

It took Andy saying, "Uhh... this ain't gonna work... he's gonna have to go" for Clark to finally get Pioli the fuck out of here.

If Patriot AIDS puts that much of a spell on owners like that, we should consider ourselves lucky that Clark managed to beat it and finally wake up. I don't know if McNair will do the same. He might just deem Jack Easterby to be more valuable to his football team than a fucking franchise QB.

And that's pretty sad.

Firing Easterby is a starting point. They'll probably have to hire EB too along with some other concessions. Frankly, they should. The franchise will be much better off if they do what Watson wants here than if they decide to cut ties and move on without him.

They should fire Easterby and then hire EB. EB could bring over Poles with him. That would be about the only way to keep Watson.

It's no secret deshaun wasn't happy about the Hopkins trade. It doesn't seem like he liked Obrien too much especially after that. What level of morons fires a head coach like Bill O'Brien then hires the GM Obrien wanted to hire.
[Reply]

Fire Easterby. Tell Caserio he better form a good relationship with Watson or he is going to be given a job where he sits in his office all day with a thumb up his ass.
[Reply]

I'll say it again... How is there zero accountability for owners? Bad owners should be fired. Not only does Cal McNair come off as a doofus, his wife is berating season ticket holders for jabbing at Easterby? What a shit show. Deshaun needs to get out and Bieniemy needs to stay a million feet away from this.

You can’t fire an owner :-)

I think what really surprises me the most out of this whole ordeal is that there is plenty of evidence out here that does show that the Patriot Way does just not work.

You would think a bunch of billionaire owners would realize this by now.
