Overview
- At the NFL Scouting Combine, GM Nick Caserio said, “He’s our quarterback… he ain’t going anywhere,” decisively rejecting any notion of trading C.J. Stroud.
- Speculative pieces floated blockbuster offers from teams such as the Browns and Jets, but coverage cites no formal talks or indications Houston is engaging.
- Scrutiny followed Stroud’s postseason, including four interceptions in the Divisional Round loss to the Patriots and seven total turnovers across two playoff games.
- Stroud addressed the slump at a Houston awards event, leaning on faith, acknowledging mistakes, and expressing gratitude for the city where he says he wants to be.
- Stroud is extension‑eligible while the Texans can keep flexibility with a 2027 club option, and reporting notes Houston could delay a long‑term deal as it works through cap and roster needs.
