Texans: No in-Season Contract Talks with C.J. Stroud if No Deal by Sept. 13
General manager Nick Caserio said Houston will pause talks if no deal is reached before the opener, while Stroud remains under team control through 2027.
- On Tuesday, Houston Texans General Manager Nick Caserio announced that if the team cannot reach a contract extension with quarterback C.J. Stroud by the September 13 opener against the Buffalo Bills, negotiations will pause until next offseason.
- The Texans previously exercised Stroud's fifth-year option, ensuring the quarterback remains under team control through the 2027 season and providing financial flexibility while keeping his long-term future unresolved.
- Stroud, who led the team to two AFC South titles, remains focused on the field rather than contract talks, saying on July 29, "You have to keep the main thing the main thing."
- Alongside ongoing contract discussions, Caserio revealed that right tackle Braden Smith will go on injured reserve after suffering a foot injury during joint practices against the Carolina Panthers last week.
- While Caserio noted every contract timeline differs, the window for a deal is shrinking with the regular season less than two weeks away, though the team previously finalized a one-year, $7 million extension for Davis Mills in 2025 just before kickoff.
