That very well could be the case but it's not the impression I've gotten.
First, I'll say it's extremely doubtful it would work out with the cost, but I'm not ready to put DW in the "diva" category yet. He's been part of what appears to be a quite dysfunctional situation in Houston. I don't know that for sure but here's what seems clearly visible: They have certainly not been even close to the winning team a player of his calibre would want to be a part of. As they desperately need to put more stars around him, they instead, inexplicably trade away one of the leagues best receivers. Now they have him playing at an MVP level, yet they had a season that was even worse than ours.
Our BACKUP RB reached more than 1,000 rushing yards. Their starter (that they traded DeAndre Hopkins for) didn't even make 700. Everything was on DW's back and he came through. All the rest of the team had to do was not throw it away and yet they did so poorly that JJ Watt actually apologized to Watson for wasting his incredible year. Watt said they should have won 11 games. I don't picture Watt seeking out that conversation with a diva.
Through all of this, DW stayed quiet. It seems he allowed enough info to get out that he could let it be known he wanted a change of scenery. Even this was "media speculation" for a very long time before he officially asked for a trade. So, I don't know. It just doesn't look like a diva situation to me.
