C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans are delaying long-term contract talks, letting him play out his rookie deal through 2026 while they strategize — but with a safety net: they’ve locked in his guaranteed 2027 option. Stroud, who had a stellar rookie season, is banking on another strong year to boost his market value as QB salaries explode, with stars like Patrick Mahomes setting new benchmarks. Despite dips in recent seasons due to pressure and injuries, his ceiling remains high, and waiting could mean a bigger payday — whether staying in Houston or exploring elsewhere.
