Lawrence Locked In, Stroud Stalled

Trevor Lawrence is locked in as Jacksonville’s QB for the long haul, riding high after a bounce-back season and a lucrative 2024 contract, while C.J. Stroud in Houston remains stuck in limbo, with no extension deal in sight despite his rookie brilliance — and playoff struggles may be holding back a massive payday. Only seven QBs earn $55M+, and Lawrence is one of them, while Stroud’s dip in production and shaky postseason play could make the Texans hesitate to commit to a $55-60M deal. With Lawrence thriving thanks to better support and a smart contract, Houston faces a tough choice: pay Stroud big or look elsewhere — before he’s gone.
