The Hall of Fame quarterback criticized Watson last month for requesting a deal with the Houston Texans after the organization failed to involve him in the process of hiring a new general manager.
» When I made these comments, I also said, ‘I don’t know all the details.’ Honestly, to do justice to Deshaun or anyone in this situation, it’s probably for best that I didn’t make the comments I made. » Favre said “Pardon My Take” on the podcast this week. « I made it specifically based on the fact that again it is very important not to know the details, which I obviously think is very important. Therefore, I am wrong to comment without knowing the facts. » In early February, Favre told Yahoo Sports of Watson’s trade inquiry, « I’m kind of old school. They get a ton of money to do a certain job and just do it and drop the chips where they like. I think we make too much money to have an opinion, but I’m not saying he’s wrong. Again, I think it’s a different day and time. «
Watson’s agent David Mulugheta replied in a few days later a tweet: « Brett should probably stop throwing stones out of the glass house he’s sitting in. »
Mulugheta was referring to Favre forcing his way out of Green Bay and the Jets after he was post-season He announced his resignation for the first time in 2007.
The three-time NFL MVP also admitted on this week’s podcast that he can see Watson’s side of the disagreement with Texans when the organization declines a promise of input.« When they ask or ask for advice being involved in some form and then ignoring it, I can see where there is a problem, « said Favre. « Is that a problem enough to make a deal? I don’t know.
« I think he’s one of the great young quarterbacks in the league and there’s no reason to believe he won’t break records and win a championship if not more than one, be it there or elsewhere. » My whole business is if you request a trade because they didn’t listen to your input when they didn’t ask for it, I don’t want to say that is wrong or right, but even today the game is different. «
