Brett Favre’s take on Deshaun Watson’s trade request is the peak of hypocrisy given the previous quarterback’s personal NFL historical past.
When it involves takes on Deshaun Watson requesting a trade out of Houston due to a deteriorating relationship with administration, Brett Favre hit the hypocritical bullseye.
Favre spoke to Yahoo Sportsbook earlier this week about Watson demanding a trade, calling himself “old-school” on these issues.
Maybe Favre would have been extra on board with Watson’s opinion if he’d gone about forcing a trade the best way Favre did.

Remember, the previous Packer retired, un-retired, publicly blasted Green Bay for not honoring his request for a launch from the contract he was nonetheless locked into, then made sufficient of a fuss to ultimately get his approach by way of a trade to the New York Jets.
Favre didn’t let how a lot cash he was making cease him from having an opinion on the Green Bay Packers‘ decisions regarding Aaron Rodgers. Instead of letting “the chips fall where they may” in an open competition with the younger QB, he did everything he needed to leave.
Simply put, the money Watson makes should have no bearing on his desire to be traded. If he ends up sitting out to force a trade, would that really be any different than the retirement that Favre did?
Loyalty to a franchise shouldn’t be blind simply because they gave you a contract value your worth. Every different group within the league would have paid Watson simply as a lot if they’d the prospect.
Watson is sad in his present state of affairs, and it’s as much as the Houston Texans to make it proper. The answer is to both do a greater job of assembly their quarterbacks’ wants or money in on him by way of a trade.
