Is Houston Texans quarterback C. J. Stroud next to be paid by the franchise this offseason?
With a 12-win season in the rear-view mirror, sights turn to Stroud and the 2026 season. Houston, which made moves to better the offense and upgrade the defensive depth, is set on competing for not just a division title, but also a berth to its first-ever Super Bowl appearance. Much of the franchise's postseason success hinges on the play of Stroud, who struggled to regain his Offensive Rookie of the Year magic last January in two playoff games.
