My stance is that KC and TW set the stage for more players to do it. I think Watson's situation closely resembles TW's and if Houston plays hardball like we did, then they have the right. However, players now know they can win the fight by sitting out - and the ones doing this are certainly well enough off that they can afford to.

I still think it's BS, but it's going to happen more often now, and teams with bad management are going to be struck by it more frequently. If karma chooses to let us benefit by it, I am not going to be sad.

I think Watson's situation is completely different from TW and KC. Watson is an elite player, with proven success, and in his prime. Also, both Cousins and Trent were part of a team that was constantly shit show, whereas Bill O'Brien ran the Texans into the ground within one year.

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.

This...way different situations. The huge misplay by the Texans is telling him he would have say in coach/GM and then not. Bill O’Brien broke this team along with ownership. I get why Watson wants out.

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.
