Watson wants to cash in.  He realizes he's not an elite generational QB, but is smart enough to know this is a prime opportunity to make demands and get a ransom of picks to be moved.

The NY Jets seem stupid enough to trade Darnold and a boat load of picks for a low 1st round draft pick in Watson, with below average size, had a major injury and doesn't have elite speed (4.68 40)

I have a different view.  I don't think Watson is doing this because "he wants to cash in."  He signed a huge contract last year.  Besides, why would it benefit him to, as you put it, "get a ransom of picks to be moved?"  That doesn't make any sense at all.  

He is genuinely unhappy about some real serious issues with the Texans franchise and the way it is being run.  If I was in his shoes, I'd want to get out, too.  And it would have nothing to do with wanting to "cash in."
