As the Texans try to quell the conflagration his relationship with quarterback Deshaun Watson has become, it doesn’t seem to be working.

Watson offered this tweet on Friday afternoon: “I was on 2 then I increased it to 10. “

This is an obvious reference to how ESPN’s Adam Schefter characterized Watson’s state of mind last weekend, explaining that hiring GM Nick Caserio without involving Watson (as the team had promised to do so) was pushing the anger level to double digits.

The tweet ends a week in which the Texans clumsily tried to appease Watson by seeking to interview Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy after the week off, meaning the Texans will not be able to speak to Bieniemy until it is over. of the Kansas City playoffs.

Watson seems to be buried, and Watson doesn’t seem like the type of guy who makes empty threats. If he’s done with the Texans, the Texans must find a good plan to resolve the situation.

Given their recent tendency to come up with bad plans, don’t count on this. Indeed, even if the Texans fire executive vice president of football operations Jack Easterby and hire Bieniemy, it might not be at this point.
