Deshaun Watson doesn’t seem like a very happy camper at the moment. It’s hard to blame him when his team, the Houston Texans, dealt away one of the game’s all-time great receiving weapons in DeAndre Hopkins.
The team did resign OT Laremy Tunsil, which likely helps get the Texans back in Watson’s good books a little bit, but there have been a lot of questionable management decisions that have led to odd, cryptic tweets from the talented quarterback.
On Friday, there was nothing cryptic about Watson’s latest controversial tweet. Replying to a tweet that was bashing the idea the Bears may have had racist underlying when they chose to draft Mitch Trubisky over Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson, Watson claimed the Bears never even reached out to him.
While we wouldn’t consider it racial damning to have not reached out, it would have certainly just looked bad on the organization to have not even reached out to one of the Draft’s top quarterbacks while knowing they were going to draft at the position.
Fortunately for Chi-Town, there were some receipts kept proving Watson wrong with his own words.
While it certainly doesn’t make the pick any better, it is relieving to know that the Bears at least did their due diligence when it came to drafting their future quarterback.
Now the question becomes why would Watson say that the Bears didn’t talk to him, if they actually did? It’s nearly impossible to believe that he forgot he’d talked to them as he inevitably would have at least pondered what it would be like to be a Bear upon talking to them.
Did he just not think that the internet was going to notice or remember?
