## Resource

The Houston Texans are still negotiating with QB C.J. Stroud as the regular season looms, with no deal finalized despite summer talks and ongoing discussions at training camp. GM Nick Caserio says progress is being made but nothing is imminent, and if no agreement happens before Week 1, talks will likely be pushed to 2027 — meaning Stroud could play out his remaining two years under his rookie contract. While this gives both sides more time to evaluate, it also leaves Stroud’s long-term future uncertain and creates financial flexibility for the team — though the window for a deal before kickoff is shrinking.
