Given all the eff ups that the Texans as an organization has done and the terrible situation they are in (no draft picks/cap hell/etc., etc.), I don't blame Watson for wanting to get the hell out of there.

Completely different is probably harsh. TW was an elite player when he held out with time left on his contract. He was upset at the organization. The organization tried to bully him back because they had the money and contract on their side. He sat out, the team capitulated.
If anything, TW had more reasons to get out of Washington since, as you said our team was a constant shitshow, the Texans may be able to get back to where they were quickly if the GM/HC duo works out. Washington only changed culture because of TW/KC/decades of losing.
