Stroud’s Contract Quietly Brewing | Houston Texans News

C.J. Stroud isn’t chasing a $70M/year payday right now—sources confirm he hasn’t asked for it, and no deal is close. With his contract extending through 2027 via club option, and quarterback salaries on the rise, waiting makes strategic sense. Experts say the real question for Houston isn’t “how much” but “if” they should extend him at all—since no QB hits that salary yet, justifying it would be tough unless Stroud dominates in 2026. Any move will likely wait until after the 2027 season. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
