The Houston Texans are currently assessing the future of quarterback C.J. Stroud after exercising his fifth-year option. This decision allows the team two seasons to evaluate whether Stroud is deserving of a lucrative contract. An NFC executive has suggested that the Texans should consider a three-year extension worth $42-45 million annually, positioning Stroud within the top 8-12 quarterbacks in the league. However, if Stroud aims to become the highest-paid quarterback, the Texans may face challenges in negotiations. The outcome of these discussions will largely depend on Stroud's performance in the upcoming seasons. If he leads the team to success, particularly in pursuit of a Super Bowl, the Texans may be more inclined to offer a substantial contract. Conversely, if his performance does not meet expectations, they might consider a more modest offer.
