## Resource

The Houston Texans and QB C.J. Stroud are delaying contract talks until after the 2026 season, as negotiations stalled over valuation—with the team offering around $50M annually and Stroud’s camp seeking north of $60M. Both sides want to keep their partnership, but the market’s rising expectations and Stroud’s potential for a breakout year make this a pivotal waiting game. The 2025 season is now a make-or-break moment for Stroud’s future earnings and his status as Houston’s franchise QB.
