Deshaun Watson has been the target of commercial rumors since the Houston Texans’ 2020 season ended earlier this month and their future with the organization is hazy at the moment.
Super Bowl winning coach Dick Vermeil did not agree. He told TMZ Sports on Wednesday that Watson was being a baby.

“I think they change his diapers, okay?” Vermeil said about what Texans should do in the future. “Nowhere in his contract is it written that he is involved in making decisions about who trains or runs the organization.”
He added: “He is a great NFL football player and has always been a great boy, but I think he just shut up and becomes a better football player and leads the football team and lets the leaders of the organization lead he.”
Watson’s growing frustrations have been documented since last year, after DeAndre Hopkins was negotiated with the Arizona Cardinals. Watson offered his views on potential general manager candidates, but Texans did not consider the franchise’s quarterback in the process, ESPN reported. The Texans did not tell Watson that they had hired Nick Caserio as the team’s next GM.

The quarterback met discreetly with his teammates to request an exchange, Pro Football Talk reported.
Watson signed a $ 156 million contract extension for four years in early September. He is expected to earn $ 10.5 million in 2021 and then $ 35 million in 2022. He has the potential to leave after the 2023 season.
Despite Houston’s 4-12 record in 2020, the Clemson product proved to be one of the elite quarterbacks in all of football. Watson set a career record with a completion percentage of 70.2, he launched for a better NFL 4,823 yards with 33 touchdowns and just seven interceptions.
