Watson has been adamant about not playing another down for the Texans, so I doubt he would suit up, get in a game, and do as you say, play poorly, to get benched. My point was to force his hand. If he's insistent on not playing, then he'd have to either stop showing up which would incur fines and suspension, or fake an injury, which could lead to grievances filed. This bullshit game they've decided to play with him is just that, bullshit.
On top of that, he wants out but gets to handcuff the Texans by choosing where he wants to go too? Fuck him.
I almost don't care about compensation anymore. Let this dude's career rot right here in Houston.
