In recent weeks, quarterback Deshaun Watson has grown increasingly unhappy with the Texans, and now, he could very well be on his way out of Houston.
Just days after former Texans star wide receiver Andre Johnson urged Watson to hold his ground and force a trade, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that there is a growing sense within the Texans that Watson has played his last game for Houston.
And, well, Watson’s own social-media activity would add credence to that notion.
Over the weekend, Watson shared a photo of himself on Instagram in New York while wearing an Atlanta Falcons jacket.

Watson is from Georgia and grew up as a Falcons fan. He even served as a Falcons ball boy while in high school.
While the Falcons aren’t necessarily a realistic trade destination for Watson, it’s pretty noteworthy to see an NFL player out and about in another team’s gear. It’s a way of signaling that he’s done with the Texans and can be a Falcons fan for the time being (which sounds miserable).
It sure looks like he has moved on.
