Stroud and Texans Pause Contract Talks | Houston Texans News

C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans are hitting pause on contract talks, with both sides agreeing to revisit negotiations after the 2026-27 season.

The Texans remain committed to him as their franchise QB, but are taking a patient, long-term approach before signing a new deal.
