The Houston Texans and quarterback C.J. Stroud have decided to postpone discussions on a long-term contract extension until after the season, after failing to reach an agreement before their Week 1 game against the Buffalo Bills. Stroud’s fifth-year option, which guarantees him $25.9 million for next season, was exercised in April, securing his contract through 2027. Last season, he had a strong performance, completing 64.5% of his passes for 3,041 yards, but struggled in the playoffs with seven turnovers. The Texans begin their season at home against Buffalo with kickoff at 1 p.m. ET.
