Extension talks between the Texans and QB C.J. Stroud are currently on hold, as reported by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. The team is focusing on extending notable defensive players like Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson. Stroud, who has a fifth-year option worth $25.904 million for 2027, is expected to play out the final year of his contract before pursuing an extension. Despite a challenging end to his 2025 season, the Texans remain supportive of Stroud.
