The relationship between Deshaun Watson and the Houston Texans continues to worsen. The QB recently removed all mention of the Texans franchise from his social media account, prompting that the bridges have burnt.
Watson has been hogging some of the postseason limelight, even though he’s not taking any part in it. The QB made news after requesting for a trade elsewhere.

The franchise has been on a self-explosive trend of late. Starting from the firing of Head Coach and GM Bill O’Brien early on in the season, the franchise finished 2020 with a 4-12 record.
Things took a turn for the worse in the ensuing postseason, though. Watson was promised by the Texans franchise to be consulted regarding the hiring of a new Head Coach and GM.
But with the franchise going about their own way with the hirings, Watson seems to have lost faith in the management. Something which eventually has forced him to ask for a trade.
Deshaun Watson no longer wants to be associated with the Texans
The Texans could’ve avoided this altogether. If they’d kept their word to Deshaun Watson, the scenario today would’ve been very different. But now, as things stand, Watson is no longer interested in staying back at Houston.
Removing any mention of the franchise from his social media handles, Deshaun Watson looks all but set to pack his bags and leave.

Apart from Twitter, the quarterback has removed the Texans’ reference from his Instagram bio as well. Running into the end of his rookie contract, Watson is currently the most sought after player in the league.
Watson had a stellar 2020 season. Amassing close to 5,000 passing yards with a faltering Texans’ side, Watson showed he can deliver regardless of the tools he has around him. And still only 25, the quarterback clearly has his best years left ahead of him.
While new GM Nick Caserio made it clear that the franchise has no intention of parting with the quarterback, it only seems like a matter of time before Watson forces a move elsewhere.
