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."

It doesn't add up though.  He says he wants to play for a winning culture.
But as you said though, if he is traded for a boat load of picks and players, then the team he will go to will have little talent.

I think he is trying to copy what fellow Houston, James Harden did and force a trade to a winning/super team.
However the value of any player in football is much smaller than in the NBA where you only have a 15 man roster and only 5 players on the court at any given time.

Watson really overestimates his impact and ability.

Read the article above. It paints a very different picture. I think there is a bit of what you are saying but I think it is a whole lot more complicated than a diva athlete who is delusional about his value. 

Most signs point to the new ownership of the Texans being an absolute [BLEEP] show. 

It’s like he saw our fanbase get upset with shad and was like “hold my beer, ima show you how to properly piss off a fan base and a locker room.”
