Stroud’s Contract Standoff | Houston Texans News

C.J. Stroud’s contract talks with the Houston Texans are heating up—but no deal is expected before kickoff. The team offered over $50M annually, but Stroud wants closer to $60M. With his fifth-year option locked in through 2027 (guaranteeing $25M+), the Texans have time to wait and see. Stroud’s focus remains on the field—he’s led the Texans to playoff berths in all three seasons and amassed over 10K passing yards. Yet whispers linger about a dip last season, including missed games and a tough playoff showing. Both sides seem willing to let this play out—after all, it’s a business, and franchise-altering deals take time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
