Hey, Favre went to the Vikings and a lot of Packer fans are still bitter about that. It was mentioned frequently when he returned to Lambeau this season.
If one day Watt is in the same situation and chooses the Colts or the Titans, I'm going to feel the same way. If they're traded, that's a different story.

And those Packers fans were idiots and you'd be an idiot to be angry at Watt.
Everything in the NFL favors the owners. Players have an extremely short window to get paid. If our team parts ways with a guy, he can go anywhere he wants to get paid. Especially when he has 1-2 remaining years of earning power and 40-50 remaining years of life. It's not like Andre is going to go get a TV job.
But again, if you look up and find yourself in Bob McNair and Rick Smith's corner, you need to examine your decision making process.
