Scott go straight into the biggest questions surrounding the Texans heading into the season: Baker Mayfield’s $55M APY extension and what it means for CJ Stroud What should the Houston Texans’ offensive expectations really be? Is this offense capable of taking the next step? What potential problems could be waiting on the horizon? How much pressure is on CJ Stroud to deliver?

Whether you've been rocking with Locked On Texans for years or you're just discovering the show, this is the straight-up Texans conversation you don't want to miss.
