Stroud will be a fascinating one. The franchise has already picked up his fifth-year option, so that gives the Texans two seasons to evaluate Stroud further before making a big financial commitment. After last season's horror playoff loss, many have soured on Stroud, just a couple of years after he announced himself to the NFL in style in his rookie season.

Now, there are serious doubts over his ability to be "the" guy for the Texans. And as such, Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer thinks the Texans would be wise to wait before signing him long-term. "Given how last year ended, it would make sense if the Texans wanted to wait another year, the way the Dolphins did with Tua Tagovailoa or the Packers (essentially) did with Jordan Love," Breer wrote .
